This book compares understandings and experiences of love and
intimacy of one distinct cultural group - Gujarati Indians - born
and brought up in two different countries. Using in-depth
ethnographic fieldwork with middle-class Gujaratis aged between 20
and 30 years of age, it explores their relationship ideals and
early experiences of marriage formation. It shows how discourses on
what it means to be modern have interacted with pervasive ongoing
status ideologies in both the UK and India.
This book compares understandings and experiences of love and
intimacy of one distinct cultural group - Gujarati Indians - born
and brought up in two different countries. In a rapidly globalizing
world, this comparative ethnographic study explores how the context
in which we are brought up shapes our most intimate attachments and
family lives.
What is sociology? Why is it important? Sociologists' Tales is the
first book to offer a unique window into the thoughts and
experiences of key UK sociologists from different generations, many
internationally recognised, asking what sociology means to them. It
reveals the changing context of sociology and how this has shaped
their practice. Providing a valuable insight into why sociology is
so fascinating, it gives advice to those wanting to study or
develop a career in sociology reflecting on why the contributors
chose their career, how they have managed to do it and what advice
they would offer the next generation. This unique volume provides
an understanding of sociology and its importance, and will have
wide appeal among students, young sociologists thinking about their
future and professional sociologists alike.
