Challenging the concept of the 'typical' family, the authors illustrate the diversity of household forms and kinship ties throughout history. They explore the social, political, emotional, and economic functions of the family as well as the importance of gender, class, race, and culture in shaping it. A variety of contemporary families are described, and provocative questions are raised about families of the future.Swerdlow, Amy is the author of 'Families in Flux' with ISBN 9780935312690 and ISBN 0935312692.
