Colonial America comes alive in this depiction of the daily lives
of families--mothers, fathers, children and grandparents. The
Volo's examine the role of the family in society and typical family
life in 17th- and 18th-century America. Through narrative chapters,
aspects of family life are discussed in depth such as maintaining
the household, work, entertainment, death and dying, ceremonies and
holidays, customs and rites of passage, parenting, education, and
widowhood. Readers will gain an in-depth understanding of the world
in which these families lived and how that world affected their
lives. Also included are sources for further information and a
timeline of historic events. Volumes in the Family Life through
History series focus on the day-to-day lives and roles of families
throughout history. The roles of all family members are defined and
information on daily family life, the role of the family in
society, and the ever-changing definition of family are discussed.
Discussion of the nuclear family, single parent homes, foster and
adoptive families, stepfamilies, and gay and lesbian families are
included where appropriate. Topics such as meal planning, homes,
entertainment and celebrations are discussed along with larger
social issues that originate in the home, such as domestic
violence, child abuse and neglect, and divorce. Ideal for students
and general readers alike, books in this series bring the history
of everyday people to life.
