In this captivating and accessible volume, Vanessa May warmly invites readers to delve into the intricate realm of thought, research, and study surrounding the incredibly diverse phenomenon of families and family life. The book embarks on a profound exploration of what has been understood by the concept of 'family' across various sociocultural contexts, while also examining how family life intertwines with social spheres such as the state, the labor market, and the economy.
