Sommario/riassunto

Tackles the assumptions surrounding the family as a changing institution and supposed haven from the public sphere of life. This book considers families and social change in terms of concepts of power, inequality, gender, generations, sexuality and ethnicity. It charts social and economic changes and their impact on the family, and more.
