This book explores the development of a new path of transition between adolescence and adulthood in recent generations. Whereas traditionally the transition into adulthood was marked by a clear and irreversible change in condition, we are now seeing a continuance in the role and influence of the family on the young adult. What consequences does this have for our society? Is the persistence of emotional bonds which previously loosened during adolescence, inhibiting young people from developing into full adulthood? The authors present a clear and in-depth analysis of the theoretical framework surrounding the transition into adulthood both from a generational point of view and a relationship-centred perspective. The findings of international research are presented and compared across generations, gender and geographical location within Europe. The different research methods of 'family related research' and 'family research' are also distinguished and analysed. This volume offers an original and multi-faceted review of this topic. The family is considered as an organization, and the interdependencies and interconnections between its members, the generations and genders investigated. It offers a unique contribution to the current literature and will appeal to an international audience of researchers, policy makers and educators both in academic and professional spheres.
Maria Elena Martinez's "Genealogical Fictions" is the first
in-depth study of the relationship between the Spanish concept of
"limpieza de sangre" (purity of blood) and colonial Mexico's
"sistema de castas," a hierarchical system of social classification
based primarily on ancestry. Specifically, it explains how this
notion surfaced amid socio-religious tensions in early modern
Spain, and was initially used against Jewish and Muslim converts to
Christianity. It was then transplanted to the Americas, adapted to
colonial conditions, and employed to create and reproduce identity
categories according to descent. Martinez also examines how the
state, church, Inquisition, and other institutions in colonial
Mexico used the notion of purity of blood over time, arguing that
the concept's enduring religious, genealogical, and gendered
meanings and the archival practices it promoted came to shape the
region's patriotic and racial ideologies.
