Grandparents in Cultural Context gives a long overdue global view
of the changing roles of grandparents. The eleven main chapters are
by experts in the Americas, Europe and Russia, Asia, and Africa and
the Middle East, and the editors integrate their chapters with
previous writings on grandparenthood. Rather than technical or
statistical research reports, each chapter provides a
thought-provoking and comprehensive review of research, real-life
case stories, cultural influences, and applied implications for
grandparenthood across and within societies. Calling special
attention to the roles of grandfathers and grandparenthood in
societies previously un-represented in the literature, it provides
several hundred new citations of work previously unavailable in
English-language publications. Accessible to both scholars and
students, it has several pedagogical features (e.g. web links,
discussion questions) that make it useful as a text for
upper-division undergraduate or graduate level classes in
behavioral, social, and family sciences. It is relevant to
psychology, gerontology, family studies, anthropology,
family/comparative sociology, education, social work, gender
studies, ethnic studies, psychiatry, and diversity and
international studies programs. Practitioners, service providers,
policymakers, and internationally minded grandparents will also
enjoy this book.
