Any agenda for family research in the 1990s must take seriously a
contextual approach to the study of family relationships. The
editors and contributors to this volume believe that the richness
in family studies over the next decade will come from considering
the diversity of family forms -- different ethnic groups and
cultures, different stages of family life, as well as different
historical cohorts. Their goal is to make more explicit how we
think about families in order to study them and understand them. To
illustrate the need for diversity in family studies, examples are
presented from new and old families, majority and minority
families, American and Japanese families, and intact and divorcing
families. This variety is intended to push the limits of current
thinking, not only for researchers but also for all who are
struggling to live with and work with families in a time when
family life is valued but fragmented and relatively unsupported by
society's institutions. Students and researchers interested in
family development from the viewpoint of any of the social sciences
will find this book of value.
