Ralph J. Korner 19 From Kinship to State: The Family and the Ancient City in Nineteenth-Century Ethnology Emily Varto IndexReviewsThe volume's structure mirrors its theme, as the groupings themselves reflect qualities of a city-cohesive and planned, yet organic and sprawling. (...) The volume as a whole functions as an extended meditation on the epistemological and theoretical problem referenced in the title-the relationship between urban 'dreams' and urban 'realities.' Although each author displays preferences for certain types of evidence (remains or representations), no one takes the 'dreams' either more or less seriously than the 'realities.' Indeed, central to the volume are two implicit acknowledgements: 1) that the ancient urban 'realities' are inaccessible to the modern scholar except by means of imaginative approaches, and 2) that urban 'dreams' no less 'real' than their material counterparts.
