Families in global and multicultural perspective

"The Second Edition of Families in Global and Multicultural Perspective travels across geographic, cultural, and historical boundaries to explore the diversity of the world's families - in family structure, processes, history, and social and environmental contexts. This comprehensive text increases students' recognition of and respect for cultural diversity as it influences family life; meets educators' needs for a comparative family text; and contributes to the development of new ways of thinking about families that highlight culture and context. Families in Global and Multicultural Perspective is an excellent textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying sociology and family studies in courses such as Families in Cross-Cultural Perspective, Comparative Family Organization, Global and Diverse Families, World Families, and Families in Comparative Perspective."--Jacket.
