Download or read book Families History And Social Change written by Tamara K Hareven and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the prevailing myths about the American family is that there once existed a harmonious family with three generations living together, and that this "ideal" family broke down under the impact of urbanization and industralization. The essays in this volume challenge this myth and provide dramatic revisions of simplistic notions about change in the American family. Based on detailed research in a variety of sources, including extensive oral history interviews of ordinary people, these essays examine major changes in family life, dispel myths about the past, and offer new directions in research and interpretation. The essays cover a wide spectrum of issues and topics, ranging from the organization of the family and household, to the networks available to children as they grow up, to the role of the family in the process of industralization, to the division of labor in the family along gender lines, and to the relations between the generations in the later years of life. While discussing family relations in the past and revising prevailing notions of social change, these interdisciplinary essays also provide important perspectives on the present.
Download or read book Globalization and Families written by Bahira Trask and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As our world becomes increasingly interconnected through economic integration, technology, communication, and political transformation, the sphere of the family is a fundamental arena where globalizing processes become realized. For most individuals, family in whatever configuration, still remains the primary arrangement that meets certain social, emotional, and economic needs. It is within families that decisions about work, care, movement, and identity are negotiated, contested, and resolved. Globalization has profound implications for how families assess the choices and challenges that accompany this process. Families are integrated into the global economy through formal and informal work, through production and consumption, and through their relationship with nation-states. Moreover, ever growing communication and information technologies allow families and individuals to have access to others in an unprecedented manner. These relationships are accompanied by new conceptualizations of appropriate lifestyles, identities, and ideologies even among those who may never be able to access them. Despite a general acknowledgement of the complexities and social significance inherent in globalization, most analyses remain top-down, focused on the global economy, corporate strategies, and political streams. This limited perspective on globalization has had profound implications for understanding social life. The impact of globalization on gender ideologies, work-family relationships, conceptualizations of children, youth, and the elderly have been virtually absent in mainstream approaches, creating false impressions that dichotomize globalization as a separate process from the social order. Moreover, most approaches to globalization and social phenomena emphasize the Western experience. These inaccurate assumptions have profound implications for families, and for the globalization process itself. In order to create and implement programs and policies that can harness globalization for the good of mankind, and that could reverse some of the deleterious effects that have affected the world’s most vulnerable populations, we need to make the interplay between globalization and families a primary focus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unresolved grief, experienced by a child, teenager, parent, or even an ex-spouse, is the number one reason why stepfamilies are failing more than half the time today. Unfortunately, children are often the ones left most confused by their feelings, and a lack of honest information and communication often exacerbates this. For this reason, this book was written by a clinical social worker and stepmother, along with her own child and three stepchildren, ages 4-11. "When Families Change: All About Stepfamilies!" is a book for kids and their parents to help both understand and navigate their way through their family's changes and open the door to healthy communication. Best used by parents, social workers, counselors or therapists with children ages 12 and under, the educational information presented focuses on types of families, why families change, and the grieving process that every member needs to experience and complete before they can move on to be part of a new, happy and healthy stepfamily. This is the first work in the "When Families Change" series of children's psychoeducational books, centered around helping children understand different types of families and the grief and loss issues they experience when their family goes through a significant change. Other topics forthcoming in the series include Divorce & Boundaries, Foster Care and Adoption.

Download or read book Families and Farmhouses in Nineteenth Century America written by Sally McMurry and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1988-06-16 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The antebellum era and the close of the 19th century frame a period of great agricultural expansion. During this time, farmhouse plans designed by rural men and women regularly appeared in the flourishing Northern farm journals. This book analyzes these vital indicators of the work patterns, social interactions, and cultural values of the farm families of the time. Examining several hundred owner-designed plans, McMurry shows the ingenious ways in which "progressive" rural Americans designed farmhouses in keeping with their visions of a dynamic, reformed rural culture. From designs for efficient work spaces to a concern for self-contained rooms for adolescent children, this fascinating story of the evolution of progressive farmers' homes sheds new light on rural America's efforts to adapt to major changes brought by industrialization, urbanization, the consolidation of capitalist agriculture, and the rise of the consumer society.
