Family Life in Western Societies - A Historical Sociology of Family Relationships in Britain and North America - J. E. Goldthorpe - Paperback Bog -
Brand: Cambridge University Press
Description
This book was first published in 1987, offering a masterly review and synthesis of the available literature on family life in western societies. Goldthorpe employs a doubly historical perspective in which both 'family life', as opposed to 'the family', and sociological thought about family life, are alike seen as processes in time and in relation to each other.
