Drawing on both sociological and anthropological perspectives, this
volume explores cross-national trends and everyday experiences of
'parenting'. Parenting in Global Perspective examines the
significance of 'parenting' as a subject of professional expertise,
and activity in which adults are increasingly expected to be
emotionally absorbed and become personally fulfilled. By focusing
the significance of parenting as a form of relationship and as
mediated by family relationships across time and space, the book
explores the points of accommodation and points of tension between
parenting as defined by professionals, and those experienced by
parents themselves. Specific themes include: the ways in which the
moral context for parenting is negotiated and sustained the
structural constraints to 'good' parenting (particularly in cases
of immigration or reproductive technologies) the relationship
between intimate family life and broader cultural trends, parenting
culture, policy making and nationhood parenting and/as adult
'identity-work'. Including contributions on parenting from a range
of ethnographic locales - from Europe, Canada and the US, to
non-Euro-American settings such as Turkey, Chile and Brazil, this
volume presents a uniquely critical and international perspective,
which positions parenting as a global ideology that intersects in a
variety of ways with the political, social, cultural, and economic
positions of parents and families.
