The textbook analyzes how social policies influence households, prompting students to consider families beyond their personal experiences and beyond United States structures.
Coverage introduces the sociological imagination and surveys families across global and historical contexts. It also explores structural dimensions such as gender, social stratification, class, race, and ethnicity.
