- Leading scholars in their respective disciplines and younger,
up-and-coming academics come together in this volume to contribute
essays on a vastly important topic with major relevance. - A mix of
qualitative and quantitative methods are used to clearly make the
case and provide evidence to support the structural basis of
racism, making this a useful volume for students and researchers
alike. - Authors go beyond the identification of structural forms
of racism and its myriad consequences and make suggestions for
multifaceted solutions. - Frames our current moment in an important
historical, theoretical, ideological, and policy-informed
framework, offering a wide range of breadth, but also critical
depth and clarity to contemporary issues.
The family remains the most contested institution in American
society. How Families Matter: Simply Complicated Intersections of
Race, Gender, and Work explores the ways adults make sense of their
family lives in the midst of the complicated debates generated by
politicians and social scientists. Given the rhetoric about the
family, this book is a well overdue account of family life from the
perspective of families themselves. The purpose of this book is to
provide the reader with a whole view of different types of
families. The chapters focus on contemporary issues such as who do
we consider to be a part of our family, can anyone achieve
family-life balance, and how do families celebrate when they get
together? Relying on stories shared by a racially/ethnically
diverse group of forty-six families, this book finds that parents
and siblings cultivate a family identity that both defines who they
are and influences who they become. It is a welcomed installment to
conversations about the family, as families are finally viewed
within a single study from a multicultural lens.
