Description

Explore how assumptions about the family have shaped our understanding of social institutions and personal relationships in American culture. This comprehensive sociology text examines the evolution of family concepts, moving beyond traditional marriage and family dynamics to analyse how historical perspectives influence contemporary thinking about family structures and interpersonal relations. Written by Betty G. Farrell, a professor of sociology at Pitzer College, the book challenges conventional undergraduate approaches to family studies by investigating the deeper cultural forces that have constructed our modern understanding of what family means. Ideal for students, academics, and anyone interested in the sociological foundations of American family life, this work provides critical insights into how past assumptions continue to shape present-day expectations and social institutions.
