Abstract in another language

Julia Pauli’s book merges two current debates, namely the debate on the emerging, African middle class and the debate on the global decline of marriage. Julia Pauli studies the downward statistical trend of marriages through the lens of social differentiation and the New Kinship debate, arguing that the Decline of Marriage manifests itself differently within the various, clearly defined social strata of Namibia.

Abstract in another language

Julia Paulis Buch führt zwei aktuelle Debatten zusammen, nämlich die Debatte über die entstehende afrikanische Mittelschicht und die Debatte über den weltweiten Rückgang der Ehen. Julia Pauli untersucht den statistischen Abwärtstrend der Eheschließungen unter dem Blickwinkel der sozialen Differenzierung und der Debatte um New Kinship und argumentiert, dass sich der Rückgang der Eheschließungen in den verschiedenen, klar definierten sozialen Schichten Namibias unterschiedlich manifestiert.
