Graham M. Smith (ed. lit.), Heather Devere (ed. lit.), John von Heyking (ed. lit.)
This anthology brings together scholarship in the field of Friendship Studies.
In recent decades, friendship has been a site of analysis for understanding the connections between people and groups, and as a fabric for holding the political and social together. Starting with the theoretical debates about how to conceptualize friendship as a political idea, the anthology then looks at friendship’s relationship with justice, the state, and civic relations. The collection presents cutting-edge research which moves the theorization of friendship beyond western confines to consider the themes in cross-cultural and decolonized contexts.
