Download or read book Between Foreign and Family written by Helene K. Lee and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between Foreign and Family explores the impact of inconsistent rules of ethnic inclusion and exclusion on the economic and social lives of Korean Americans and Korean Chinese living in Seoul. These actors are part of a growing number of return migrants, members of an ethnic diaspora who migrate “back” to the ancestral homeland from which their families emigrated. Drawing on ethnographic observations and interview data, Helene K. Lee highlights the “logics of transnationalism” that shape the relationships between these return migrants and their employers, co-workers, friends, family, and the South Korean state. While Koreanness marks these return migrants as outsiders who never truly feel at home in the United States and China, it simultaneously traps them into a liminal space in which they are neither fully family, nor fully foreign in South Korea. Return migration reveals how ethnic identity construction is not an indisputable and universal fact defined by blood and ancestry, but a contested and uneven process informed by the interplay of ethnicity, nationality, citizenship, gender, and history.
Download or read book Families Sport Leisure and Social Justice written by Dawn E. Trussell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a social justice and equity lens, this book examines how families, sport, and leisure connect to broader social issues in society. It goes beyond describing oppression and disadvantaged identities and focuses on advocacy and ways forward to challenge the status quo. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the book draws upon different theories to present important new work on topics as diverse as the role of parents and siblings within youth sport; the family in sport for development and peace; and grandparent–grandchild relationships in sport, leisure, and family tourism. Several topics also bring attention to the multiplicity of family lives such as LGBTQ older adults as well as children and young people in the care of the state. Together, these studies provide important insight into how sport and leisure reflect and refract key contemporary social issues within the context of familial lives. This is fascinating reading for any student or researcher with an interest in sport, leisure, education, development, sociology, social work, or social policy.

Download or read book Feeding the Family written by Marjorie L. DeVault and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Housework—often trivialized or simply overlooked in public discourse—contributes in a complex and essential way to the form that families and societies assume. In this innovative study, Marjorie L. DeVault explores the implications of "feeding the family" from the perspective of those who do that work. Along the way, DeVault offers a new vocabulary for discussing nurturance as a basis of group life and sociability. Drawing from interviews conducted in 1982-83 in a diverse group of American households, DeVault reveals the effort and skill behind the "invisible" work of shopping, cooking, and serving meals. She then shows how this work can become oppressive for women, drawing them into social relations that construct and maintain their subordinate position in household life.

Download or read book Public and Private Families written by Andrew J. Cherlin and published by McGraw-Hill Humanities, Social Sciences & World Languages. This book was released on 2000 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text examines the family through two lenses - the familiar private family in which we live most of our personal lives, and the public family in which we, as adults, deal with broader societal issues such as raising the next generation and the care of the elderly. Consequently the selected readings look both at intimate personal concerns, such as whether to marry, as well as societal concerns, such as governmental policies that affect families. The author introduces each chapter, providing helpful lead-ins to the readings that follow. The 32 readings in this edition are comprised of a well-balanced mix of highly accessible selections from the popular press as well as articles from scholarly journals. This reader serves as an excellent companion to other texts in the sociology of marriage and the family and as a useful source of information on its own. It is an excellent supplement to Cherlins text, Public and Private Families: An Introduction. Its 16 chapters, which address contemporary issues such as the history of the family, welfare and welfare reform, divorce and step-parenting are keyed to the 16 chapters in Cherlins text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR BUILDING A THRIVING FAMILY PLAN There is a difference between a healthy family and a thriving family. Authors Linda and Lloyd Reeb have dedicated countless hours to walking alongside families as they navigate the journey toward thriving. This book explores the best practices for creating a thriving family plan that will include and celebrate the unique qualities of your family—no one-size-fits-all approach exists when it comes to family dynamics. In conjunction with the other two books in the family-focused series (Halftime for Couples and Finally Connected), this workbook-style guide will help you and your family explore the six key components of a thriving family plan: leadership, values, family of unique individuals, serving, legacy, and celebrating. No matter what your starting point is, this resource will help you and your family have conversations to get clear on your dreams and desires, get free from what’s holding you back, and get going on building a thriving family together. LINDA AND LLOYD REEB have been married over thirty years, enjoy living near Charlotte, NC, and have grown children and grandchildren. Linda was a stay-at-home mom and a part-time dental assistant until the children started leaving for college. After exploring her calling and realizing her passion to encourage moms of young children, she transitioned into a mentoring role at MomsMentoring (momsmentoring.com). That is her primary occupation today. Lloyd was a successful real estate developer and owner of luxury senior housing facilities in 1993 when his idea of success changed dramatically and his life’s focus shifted to second-half significance. He spends most of his time now speaking and leading workshops around the world and coaching men and women through the Halftime journey. He is also the author of The Second Half: Real stories, Real adventures, Real significance, a coffee-table book packed with stories of people making a difference in their second half. His first book, From Success to Significance: When the Pursuit of Success Isn’t Enough, is a roadmap for midlife transition.
