- Description
- The author presents an assessment of recent research and theory, and foregrounds new thinking about 'family', parenting, childhood and personal life. She examines factors such as gender, race, ethnic identity and new sexual lifestyles in relation to cultural customs, government policies and social inequalities. She explores global dimensions, 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.
