Description

Families by Vanessa May offers a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the diverse phenomenon of family life. Drawing from research in both the Global North and South, this accessible book examines how people approach the study of families and sheds light on the current state of mainstream family studies.

May's work considers the intersections between family life and broader social spheres, including the state, labour market, and economy, as well as the impact of global developments such as (post)colonialism and austerity. By combining interdisciplinary approaches to time, embodiment, and materiality, this book provides a multidimensional perspective on the day-to-day lives of families.

This timely intervention into current debates within family studies will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike, offering new avenues of investigation that deserve further attention.
