The Blackwell Companion to Sociology of Families is an authoritative
volume of original essays by expert contributors. It tackles a range of issues relevant
to family life today, such as social inequality, parenting practices, children's
work, the changing patterns of citizenship, and challenges confronting multi-cultural
families.Each essay examines the changing family forms and relationships as well
as the changing social context (by way of globalization, technological innovation,
state policy, religion, employment and community) that shapes modern family life.
From an explicitly comparative perspective, the authors provide a selective overview
of empirical research and address emerging issues. Families in Europe and North America
are given special attention, with discussion of previously neglected groups including
immigrant families and gays and lesbians.The Companion shows how revolutionary changes
in aging, longevity, and sexual behavior have radically affected the experience of
children and parents over the life course, and shifted the ties that bind different
generations. This exceptional volume shows why the study of social change in families
is a necessary key for understanding the transformations in individual and social
life, across the globe.
