The institution of the family changed hugely during the course of
the 20th century. In this work, Goran Therborn provides a global
history and sociology, and a comparative political analysis of the
family as an institution, focusing on three dimensions of family
relations: on the rights and powers of fathers and husbands; on
marriage, cohabitation and extra-marital sexuality; and on
fertility and birth-control. the major family systems of the world
have been formed and developed. His truly global scope covers the
family in: Europe and the New World of America and Australia; West
Asia/North Africa; South and East Asia; sub-Saharan Africa; and
Creole America and Southeast Asia. The book has three parts:
patriarchy and its exits - and closures; marriage and mutations of
the socio-sexual order; couples, babies, and states; and a
concluding chapter on the century gone, the century coming.
