Förlagets beskrivning
In the last decade there has been increasing public concern and debate over the changing family, due mainly to evolving employment patterns, shifting gender relations and increasing options in sexual orientations. Most politicians and researchers have viewed changes in the family as necessarily harmful, suggesting that the family as an institution must not change.
The`New' Family? challenges these dominant views. Leading academics in the field consider current diverse practices in families, and reveal the lack of balance between policies based in how families should be and how they actually are illustrating the need for a broader definition of family. This book shows the need to take fluidity and change in family arrangements seriously, rather than simply seeing change itself as dangerous and undesirable.
The `New' Family? provides new contribtutions and up-to-date analyses to the sociology of the family. It will be of particular interest to students of sociology, social policy and women's studies
