FAMILIES - VANESSA MAY KARTONIERT (TB)

In this accessible and engagingly written book  Vanessa May invites readers into the rich world
of thought  research and study of the highly diverse phenomenon of families and family life.
The book explores what is and has been understood by 'family' in different sociocultural
contexts and how family life intersects with social spheres such as the state  the labour
market and the economy. Alongside broad social developments such as (post)colonialism and
austerity and their connections with changing family patterns  the book engages
interdisciplinary work on time  embodiment and materiality in order to offer a multidimensional
perspective on the day-to-day lives of families. Drawing from research in the Global North and
the Global South  the text carefully considers how people approach the study of families and
thus offers insight into the shape of mainstream family studies today. The book offers a timely
intervention in current debates within family studies and suggests avenues of investigation
that deserve further attention and will be an invaluable resource to students and scholars
alike.
