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, these changes have neither
undermined family life, nor have they led to a large-scale
transformation of family relations in the direction of greater
equality. 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, explores 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.
