Overview
The eTextbook for Diversity in Families employs a structural-diversity framework that highlights how families are shaped through their interaction with social structures. Authors Maxine Baca Zinn, D. Stanley Eitzen and Barbara Wells treat family diversity as the norm. By exposing myths, stereotypes, and dogmas, they demystify and demythologize the family.
The 10th Edition emphasizes the influences of social forces, highlighting the effects of race, class, gender and sexuality upon family diversity. This title includes the following key features.
- Researching Families boxes present the main approaches and methods sociologists use in their studies.
- Think About This boxes encourage you to think critically about pertinent family issues.
- Emergent Family Trends boxes provide a critical look at new family patterns and their potential impact on future families.
- A new Chapter 4: Families and the New Economic Realities explores how families have been affected by the structural transformation of the economy and globalization.
Diversity in Families presents families not as the building blocks of society but rather as products of social forces. This approach helps you gain a thorough understanding of contemporary family dynamics.
