Description

Explore the foundations of social structures with Family: The Making Of An Idea, An Institution, And A Controversy In American Culture. Published by Routledge, this work examines how assumptions about historical family models influence our modern personal interactions and our academic study of the family as a social institution. Many undergraduate sociology courses focus heavily on marriage and family dynamics, looking primarily at interpersonal relations. This book provides a broader perspective by investigating how the very concept of the family has been constructed and debated within American culture. It offers a deep look into the social forces that shape our understanding of domestic life. Written by Betty G. Farrell, a professor of sociology at Pitzer College, this text serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in anthropology and sociology. It challenges readers to think about the expectations we bring to our social lives and how these ideas impact the way we view the family today.
