How do personal networks evolve and what roles do they play for
parents, and for the development of children? Can these ties with
relatives, neighbours, and friends provide stability for family
members during periods of disruption caused by divorce,
unemployment, geographic dislocation or serious illness? How do
networks change over time? To what extent are network members
interchangeable; can unrelated friends take the place of close
relatives? These are among the questions addressed in Extending
Families, a ground-breaking study about how personal networks
evolve, and what roles they play for parents and for the
development of children. The volume is an outgrowth of a ten-year
cooperative research effort carried out by the authors as part of
the Comparative Ecology of Human Development Project at Cornell
University. In this comprehensive and integrated volume, Moncrieff
Cochran and his colleagues document and compare the roles network
members play in the lives of African-American and Caucasian parents
in the United States, and parents in Sweden, Wales and West
Germany.
