Changing American Families

Changing American Families, 2/e Judy R. Aulette, Universityof North Carolina - Charlotte ISBN: 0205484468 Changing American Families offers two different perspectives on families the macro-level view that examines social structure and historical change, and the micro-level view that focuses on the everyday, lived experiences of families. Using insights from feminist scholarship, as well as mainstream sociology and other social sciences, the author shows how the family is a political area of study, looking at the ways in which people differ, confront, negotiate, and struggle for change. The texts unique contribution is to bridge the gap between micro and macro levels of analysis showing how powerful social structures profoundly affect individual families, but also how families can sometimes resist, challenge, and change those same social institutions.Aulette, Judy R. is the author of 'Changing American Families ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780205484461 and ISBN 0205484468.
