Review Quotes:
"A major work of sociolegal scholarship, Goldberg-Hiller moves effortlessly between local struggles and global debates in his analysis of the movement for same-sex marriage rights. Interrogating key concepts such as sovereignty, contract, status and culture itself, the author provides a deeply textured and nuanced analysis of the politics of marriage, law, and sexuality. Goldberg-Hiller has documented a legal struggle and an historical moment of great significance."
--Carl Stychin, University of Reading
