Families in a Global Context

Each chapter in Families in a Global Context describes customary types of family patterns within each country's social organization and culture. Important social, economic, political, and other trends are explored in detail, and major ethnic, religious, or other subcultures are noted emphasizing marriage and family patterns that differ from the more typical ones. The book is extensively referenced and includes tables to clearly present data.

Maternal gatekeeping: listening for the “creeaak”

by Sarah Schoppe-Sullivan, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, The Ohio State University

At a recent meeting I was greeted with the exclamation, "Sarah! You have to see this video. The mom had the most horrified look on her face while the dad was interacting with the baby! She could hardly keep from interfering with him while he was dressing the baby!"

Mythologizing fatherhood

by Ralph LaRossa, Ph.D., Department of Sociology, Georgia State University

... I examined the culture and conduct of fatherhood from the early 1900s to the beginning of the Second World War. In a current project, I am studying fatherhood in the 1950s and am trying to get a sense of how involved fathers were with their kids back then. The work has been a journey of sorts for me, because I was a youngster in the 1950s, and am part of the cultural and behavioral fabric I now endeavor to understand.
