| Summary |
"This book addresses the complexity of family change. It draws on evidence from two linked studies, one carried out in the 1960s and the other in the early years of the 21st century, to analyse the specific ways in which family lives have altered and how they have been affected by the major structural and cultural transformations of the second half of the 20th century." "The book shows that, while there has undeniably been change, there is a surprising degree of continuity in family practices. It casts doubt on claims that families have been subject to a process of dramatic upheaval and provides an alternative account which is based on careful analysis of empirical data." "The findings will be of interest to students of sociology, social anthropology, social policy, women's studies, gender studies and human geography at undergraduate and postgraduate level."--BOOK JACKET |
