"New kinds of intimate relationships such as post-divorce families, co-habiting couples,
'friends as family' and same-sex unions are now commonplace. This book explores the
growing diversity of family life by presenting a comprehensive assessment of recent
research and theory, and foregrounds new thinking about 'family', parenting, childhood
and personal life. A Sociology of Family Life queries notions of moral decline by
revealing a remarkable persistence of commitment and reciprocity across cultures in
traditional and new family relations. This insightful and innovative work examines
factors such as gender, race, ethnic identity and new sexual lifestyles in relation
to cultural customs, government policies and social inequalities. Global dimensions
of intimate life are explored, including the impact of population policies on fertility
in several nations; ethical dilemmas associated with reproductive technologies among
different cultures; interdependencies between rich and poor nations through the globalization
of domestic care; and transnational marriage strategies. This book will be indispensable
for students across the social sciences interested in change in intimate relations."--Publisher's
