Childhood and family life have changed significantly in recent
decades. What is the nature of these changes? How have they
affected the use of time, space, work and play? In what ways have
they influenced face-to-face talk and the uses of technology within
families and communities? Eminent anthropologist Shirley Brice
Heath sets out to find answers to these and similar questions,
tracking the lives of 300 black and white working-class families as
they reshaped their lives in new locations, occupations and
interpersonal alignments over a period of thirty years. From the
1981 recession through the economic instabilities and technological
developments of the opening decade of the twenty-first century,
Shirley Brice Heath shows how families constantly rearrange their
patterns of work, language, play and learning in response to
economic pressures. This outstanding study is a must-read for
anyone interested in family life, language development and social
change.
