Résumé

New kinds of intimate relationships such as post-divorce families, co-habiting couples, "friends as family" and same-sex unions are now commonplace. This book explores the growing diversity of family life by presenting a comprehensive assessment of recent research and theory, and foregrounds new thinking about "family", parenting, childhood and personal life. A Sociology of Family Life queries notions of moral decline by revealing a remarkable persistence of commitment and reciprocity across cultures in traditional and new family relations.
This insightful and innovative work examines factors such as gender, race, ethnic identity and new sexual lifestyles in relation to cultural customs, government policies and social inequalities. Global dimensions of intimate life are explored, including the impact of population policies on fertility in several nations ; ethical dilemmas associated with reproductive technologies among different cultures ; interdependencies between rich and poor nations through the globalization of domestic care ; and transnational marriage strategies.
This book will be indispensable for students across the social sciences interested in change in intimate relations.
