Families

Exploring the diverse concept of family, this book delves into its sociocultural variations and intersections with social spheres like the state and economy. It examines the impact of broad social developments such as (post)colonialism and austerity on family patterns, while incorporating interdisciplinary perspectives on time, embodiment, and materiality. Drawing on research from both the Global North and South, it provides a comprehensive insight into contemporary family studies and the evolving understanding of family life.
