Routledge Between Generations: Family Models, Myths and Memories

Between Generations explores how powerful memories shape families across cultures and generations. This Routledge book examines what parents pass to their children through conscious and unconscious models, myths, and material inheritance woven into family and individual life stories. The work uses a life-story approach to unlock new understanding of family dynamics and social change. By investigating the complicated mixture of heritage that defines intergenerational relationships, the book offers insight into how cultural transmission shapes personal narratives. Ideal for researchers, students, and anyone interested in anthropology, sociology, and the psychological forces that bind families together across time and distance.
