Description

Now in its fifth edition, Canadian Families Today brings together contributions from Canada’s top scholars in the field to provide a current and comprehensive introduction to the sociology of the family. Part I begins with a historical and theoretical overview of Canadian families and family life, with an emphasis on the ongoing diversity of family forms. Part II then examines common changes that occur in families over the life course, from family formation through to later life. In Part III, the text explores various issues in family life (including rituals, paid and unpaid work, and poverty), and specific challenges faced by immigrant and refugee families, Indigenous families, and families living with disability. Finally, Part IV concludes with a discussion of family violence, family policies in Canada, and predictions about the future of the Canadian family. This new edition includes fully revised chapters on LGBTQI+ families, parenting, separation and divorce, and immigrant and refugee families, as well as a refreshed box program and thorough updates to statistics and content throughout.
