Acknowledging the increasing diversity and complexity of families,
this innovative book proposes a new conceptual framework for
understanding families and other relationships that both challenges
and attempts to reconcile traditional and contemporary approaches.
Using the notion of 'boundaries', the book shifts thinking from
'families as entities' to 'families as relationship processes'.
Emphasising the processes that underlie boundary construction and
reconstruction suggests that the key to understanding family life
is the process of relationship formation. The ideas of entity,
boundary, margins and hybridity provide a framework for
understanding the diverse, and often contradictory, ways in which
families contribute to society. Families in society makes a
significant contribution to the academic literature on families and
is essential reading for social science students, social
researchers, policy makers and practitioners interested in families
and relationships.
