Featuring illuminating chapters written by scholars within the
discipline, Multicultural Stepfamilies presents readers with new
research and insight into the composition and diversity of modern
stepfamilies. Through the lenses of diversity, inclusiveness, and
intersectionality, the text explores the ways in which race,
ethnicity, religion, and culture can influence stepfamily structure
and dynamics. Over the course of eight chapters, readers increase
their awareness of the growing population of non-white,
non-Christian stepfamilies. The text summarizes and critiques the
existing literature on stepfamilies among various groups and
proposes avenues for future policy, practice, and research. It
features scholars' original data analysis, providing new
information on cultural differences in stepfamily structure,
attitudes, perceptions, and more. Each chapter contains a vignette
designed to deepen readers' understanding of stepfamily life "on
the ground" as opposed to relying solely on hypothetical,
theoretical, and empirical models. Dedicated chapters address
stepfamily research bias, religious diversity in stepfamilies, and
the unique features and dynamics of African American, Hispanic,
American Indian, and East Asian stepfamilies. Filling a gap in
current literature and providing direction for future research in
the discipline, Multicultural Stepfamilies is an ideal text for
courses in sociology, social work, and family studies.
