Content:
"This book analyses the dynamics of the development of family structure in India in the last few decades. It captures the diversities and challenges of contemporary families and provides a culture and region-specific overview of how families adapt and change generationally. The book explores the paradigms of understanding family life in India through case studies which look at patterns of family formations in the context of large-scale social, economic and media driven changes. Besides discussing the ongoing debates on the sociology of family, the essays in this volume also look at diverse families experiencing poverty, conflict and displacement, or confronting taboo issues in the community like sexual orientation, and disability. The book will be useful to students and researchers of various disciplines such as sociology, social work, family studies, women's studies, and anthropology"--
