In this accessible, engaging, and up-to-date course book, Susan L.
Brown employs ethnographic vignettes and demographic data to
introduce students to twenty-first century perspectives on
contemporary families. Appropriate as a primary or secondary text
in classes on family and marriage, this book probes momentous
shifts in the definition of family, such as the legalization of
same-sex marriage and policy debates on welfare reform and
work-family issues. Brown also explores the rise in nonmarital
childbearing and single-mother families and the decline of
"traditional" marriage by delving into the historical roots of
family change, current trends of family formation and dissolution,
and the implications of family change for the well-being of adults
and children. With a lens toward socioeconomic inequality and
racial-ethnic variation in family patterns, Families in America
illustrates how family diversity is now the norm. The Sociology in
the Twenty-First Century series introduces students to a range of
sociological issues of broad interest in the United States today,
with each volume addressing topics such as family, race,
immigration, gender, education, and social inequality. These
books-intended for classroom use-will highlight findings from
current, rigorous research and demographic data while including
stories about people's experiences to illustrate major themes in an
accessible manner. Learn more at
