This book addresses the complexity of family change. It draws on
evidence from two linked studies, one carried out in the 1960s and
the other in the early years of the 21st century, to analyse the
specific ways in which family lives have changed and how they have
been affected by the major structural and cultural changes of the
second half of the twentieth century. The book shows that, while
there has undeniably been change, there is a surprising degree of
continuity in family practices. It casts doubt on claims that
families have been subject to a process of dramatic change and
provides an alternative account which is based on careful analysis
of empirical data. The book presents a unique opportunity to chart
the nature of social change in a particular locality over the last
50 years; includes discussions of social and cultural variations in
family life, focusing on younger as well as older generations;
explores not only what happens within family-households but also
what happens within networks of kin across different households and
shows the way changing patterns of employment affect kinship
networks and how geographical mobility co-exists with the
maintenance of strong kinship ties. The findings will be of
interest to students of sociology, social anthropology, social
policy, women's studies, gender studies and human geography at
undergraduate and postgraduate level.
