Focusing on insights from feminist researchers and the role of gender in family life, this text explores both the structural features of society that shape families and the everyday personal experiences of individual family members--as well as the interplay between the two.

Changing American Families, 2/e
Judy R. Aulette, Universityof North Carolina - Charlotte
ISBN: 0205484468
Changing American Families offers two different perspectives on families–the macro-level view that examines social structure and historical change, and the micro-level view that focuses on the everyday, lived experiences of families. Using insights from feminist scholarship, as well as mainstream sociology and other social sciences, the author shows how the family is a political area of study, looking at the ways in which people differ, confront, negotiate, and struggle for change. The text’s unique contribution is to bridge the gap between micro and macro levels of analysis–showing how powerful social structures profoundly affect individual families, but also how families can sometimes resist, challenge, and change those same social institutions.
Judy Aulette is Associate professor of Sociology at University of North Carolina-Charlotte. She was recently named a Fulbright Scholar to teach, lecture, and conduct research at the University of Western Cape (where Desmond Tutu is the chancellor) on women’s health issues, the sociology of gender, family policy, research methods and the women’s movement in South Africa.
