Co-published with the Society for Economic Anthropology, this work
explores the social, political and economic contexts and
consequences of economic interaction beyond the local systems.
Because the focus of economic analysis is often local, particularly
in anthropology, this book specifically aims analysis beyond the
local system of economic interaction.
African families face serious crises today. They are under
economic, demographic and political pressures of all kinds; yet,
families are not mere hapless victims of global change. They are
proactive, resilient agents and creators of change. This volume
studies global and national transformation from the point of view
of families in local communities. Contributors are from Africa,
North America, and Europe, and provide socially and historically
based, culturally rich, multigenerational, and comparative
perspectives on family life in Africa today. The essays explore
contemporary change in African families, and consequences for
children and parents, the elderly, gender roles, moral values,
fertility, health (HIV and nutrition), and economic development.
Ultimately, despite desperate economic, sociohistorical,
demographic and political circumstances, African families remain
vitally important for social and psychological support throughout
an individual's life span.
