Ruth Perry describes the transformation of the English family as a function of several major social changes taking place in the eighteenth century including the development of a market economy and ...waged labor, enclosure and the redistribution of land, urbanization, the 'rise' of the middle class, and the development of print culture. In particular, Perry traces the shift from a kinship orientation based on blood relations to a kinship axis constituted by conjugal ties as it is revealed in popular literature of the second half of the eighteenth century. Perry focuses particularly on the effect these changes had on women's position in families. She uses social history, literary analysis and anthropological kinship theory to examine texts by Samuel Richardson, Charlotte Lennox, Henry MacKenzie, Frances Burney, Jane Austen, and many others. This important study by a leading eighteenth-century scholar will be of interest to social and literary historians.

Millie Acevedo bore her first child before the age of 16 and dropped out of high school to care for her newborn. Now 27, she is the unmarried mother of three and is raising her kids in one of ...Philadelphia's poorest neighborhoods. Would she and her children be better off if she had waited to have them and had married their father first? Why do so many poor American youth like Millie continue to have children before they can afford to take care of them? Over a span of five years, sociologists Kathryn Edin and Maria Kefalas talked in-depth with 162 low-income single moms like Millie to learn how they think about marriage and family. Promises I Can Keep offers an intimate look at what marriage and motherhood mean to these women and provides the most extensive on-the-ground study to date of why they put children before marriage despite the daunting challenges they know lie ahead.

The concept of "funds of knowledge" is based on a simple premise: people are competent and have knowledge, and their life experiences have given them that knowledge. The claim in this book is that ...first-hand research experiences with families allow one to document this competence and knowledge, and that such engagement provides many possibilities for positive pedagogical actions. Drawing from both Vygotskian and neo-sociocultural perspectives in designing a methodology that views the everyday practices of language and action as constructing knowledge, the funds of knowledge approach facilitates a systematic and powerful way to represent communities in terms of the resources they possess and how to harness them for classroom teaching. This book accomplishes three objectives: It gives readers the basic methodology and techniques followed in the contributors' funds of knowledge research; it extends the boundaries of what these researchers have done; and it explores the applications to classroom practice that can result from teachers knowing the communities in which they work. In a time when national educational discourses focus on system reform and wholesale replicability across school sites, this book offers a counter-perspective stating that instruction must be linked to students' lives, and that details of effective pedagogy should be linked to local histories and community contexts. This approach should not be confused with parent participation programs, although that is often a fortuitous consequence of the work described. It is also not an attempt to teach parents "how to do school" although that could certainly be an outcome if the parents so desired. Instead, the funds of knowledge approach attempts to accomplish something that may be even more challenging: to alter the perceptions of working-class or poor communities by viewing their households primarily in terms of their strengths and resources, their defining pedagogical characteristi
A remarkable number of women today are taking the daunting step of having children outside of marriage. This book offers a full-scale account of this fast-growing phenomenon, revealing why these ...middle class women are taking this unorthodox path and how they have managed to make single parenthood work for them. Sixty-five women were interviewed—ranging from physicians and financial analysts to social workers, teachers, and secretaries—who speak candidly about how they manage their lives and families as single mothers. What the research discovers are not ideologues but reluctant revolutionaries, women who—whether straight or gay—struggle to conform to the conventional definitions of mother, child, and family. Having tossed out the rulebook in order to become mothers, they nonetheless adhere to time-honored rules about child-rearing. As they tell their stories, they shed light on their paths to motherhood, describing how they summoned up the courage to pursue their dream, how they broke the news to parents, siblings, friends, and co-workers, how they went about buying sperm from fertility banks or adopting children of different races. They recount how their personal and social histories intersected to enable them to pursue their dream of motherhood, and how they navigate daily life. What does it mean to be “single” in terms of romance and parenting? How do women juggle earning a living with parenting? What creative ways have women devised to shore up these families? How do they incorporate men into their child-centered families? This book provides concrete, informative answers to all these questions.
La question sociale est au cœur de deux œuvres littéraires pour enfants d'Hector Malot - Sans Famille, roman publié en 1878, et En Famille, roman publié en 1893. Dans ces deux textes, l’auteur nous ...donne à lire les aventures de jeunes enfants qui sont confrontés à la ville industrielle au cours de leur cheminement. Observateur critique de son époque, Hector Malot met en texte tout un réseau de représentations qui opposent la campagne paradisiaque et l’enfer de la ville industrielle, d’une part, et la déchéance sociale et le besoin imminent de réforme, d’autre part. Cet article se propose d’interroger le message social véhiculé par le prisme du regard des enfants qui observent la société industrielle dans laquelle ils évoluent. Sans Famille et En Famille sont les deux seules œuvres pour enfants dans lesquelles Hector Malot fournit autant de détails sur l’impact de l’industrie non seulement sur le paysage français, mais aussi sur le cœur des hommes. Comme leurs titres respectifs le soulignent, nous pouvons retracer une véritable continuité entre ces deux romans : tout se passe comme si En Famille était le prolongement et l’aboutissement de la réflexion sociale amorcée dans Sans Famille.
This work analyses in a historical and comparative perspective the relationship between the family and the welfare state in two Mediterranean countries: Italy and Spain. Two aims form the focus of ...the book. Firstly, to open the black box of the family in welfare state analysis, introducing a focus on inter-generational and kin relations. Secondly, to explain why the southern welfare states have offered very low support to families with children by taking into account several factors: the legacy of fascism, the role of the Church, and the specific role played by leftist parties in defining family policy as labour policy.
The number of dual-income families in Nigeria is on the increase due to economic and educational changes occurring in the country. Despite this shift, the exclusive traditional demands on women in ...the family are not relaxed. Hence, working mothers face more stress than their male counterparts. Since organizations are not up to speed in formulating family-friendly policies to help working mothers cope with additional responsibilities Amah, O. E. (2010). Family-work conflict and the availability of work-family friendly policy relationships in married employees: The moderating role of work centrality and career consequence. Research and Practice in Human Resource Management, 18(2), 35-46, working mothers may have to resort to family resources in an attempt to cope with these responsibilities. Extended family support is considered a possible family resource which can be used by working mothers in the absence of organizational support. Data are collected from 300 working mothers across five organizations using cross-sectional research design. Results indicate that extended family support reduced family-to-work conflict and enhanced family satisfaction, while family-to-work conflict reduced family satisfaction. Work-to-family conflict played no significant role in the model tested. The implication is that resources obtained by expanding the definition of the family are useful to working mothers. Hence, it may be necessary for organizations to factor extended family members into their family-friendly policies to enable working mothers manage any unintended negative consequences of utilizing extended family support.
