Routledge Negotiating Families and Personal Lives Sociology Book

Negotiating Families and Personal Lives in the 21st Century provides a vital new resource for the sociological study of family life. Published by Routledge as part of the Sociological Futures series, this volume examines a wide range of intimate life experiences and the contexts in which they are lived. Through evidence-based chapters, leading sociologists explore how personal choices about reproduction and family forms are shaped by various social factors. The text examines how geographical location, race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, income, and government policy mediate individual life choices. This book serves as an essential tool for understanding the diversity, social change, and inequalities present in modern family structures.
