Misunderstood and stereotyped, the black family in America has been viewed by some as pathologically weak while others have acclaimed its resilience and strength. Those who have drawn these conflicting conclusions have gnerally focused on the nuclear family—husband, wife, and dependent children. But as Elmer and Joanne Martin point out in this revealing book, a unit of this kind often is not the center of black family life. What appear to be fatherless, broken homes in our cities may really be vital parts of strong and flexible extended families based hundreds of miles away—usually in a rural area. Through their eight-year study of some thirty extended families, the Martins find that economic pressures, including federal tax and welfare laws, have begun to make the extended family's flexibility into a liability that threatens its future.

"The work begins with the story of the authors grandfather and from there tells the story of much of his extended family on both sides of his family, though the focus is primarily on his father's side. The story continually comes back to the author's relationship with his parents: their fights and separation (first in India and then in Canada and the United States), his father's anger and constant need to move to new places, and his mother's depression, which culminates in her eventual suicide in India. Interspersed in this personal history are stories of Hindu gods - many of whom the extended family (and Ven's immediate family) are named after, and fictional accounts of family stories that have been passed down from generation to generation. From the author: In Extended Families: A Memoir of India, award-winning author Ven Begamudré traces the history of both sides of his family. Using many styles and genres-journal entries, memoirs, fiction, poetry, and photographs-he reconstructs the stories of a South Indian family of high-class Brahmins who guarded a treasury, built dams and power stations, and became electrical engineers-the women as well as the men. One branch of the family even found itself caught up in the Japanese invasion of Burma in early 1942. Through it all, he brings to life a story that is both timeless and universal."--

Women’s empowerment is dynamic across the life course, affected not only by age but also by women’s social position within the household. In Nepal, high rates of male outmigration have further compounded household dynamics, although the impact on women’s empowerment is not clear. We use qualitative and quantitative data from Nepal to explore the relationship between women’s social location in the household, caste/ethnicity, husband’s migration status, and women’s empowerment. The study first examines the factors affecting overall empowerment as measured by the Abbreviated Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (A-WEAI), followed by more detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis of how each factor affects individual domains including asset ownership, access to and decisions on credit, control over use of income, group membership, input in productive decisions, and work load. We find that women’s empowerment is strongly associated with caste/ethnic identity and position in the household, but this dynamic interacts with husband’s migration status. Despite patriarchal norms of high caste groups, high caste women are more empowered than others, reflecting the disempowering effects of poverty and social exclusion for low caste and ethnic groups. Daughters-in-law in joint households are more likely to be empowered when their husbands are residents in the household and disempowered when their husbands are migrants, while wives in nuclear households are more likely to be empowered when their husbands are migrants. While qualitative findings indicate daughters-in-law are disempowered compared to their mothers-in-law, especially in time use, the quantitative results do not show significant differences, suggesting that we need to move toward an understanding of agency over time and intensity of work, rather than simply hours worked. Identifying the factors that contribute to disempowerment of women of different social positions has important implications for the design of interventions and programs that seek to improve women’s empowerment.

Nuclear Family Values, Extended Family Lives shows how the current emphasis on the nuclear family – with its exclusion of the extended family – is narrow, even deleterious, and misses much of family life. This omission is tied to gender, race, and class. This book is broken down into six chapters. Chapter one discusses how, when promoting "family values" and talking about "family as the basic unit of American society," social commentators, politicians, and social scientists alike typically ignore extended kin ties and focus only on the nuclear family. Chapters two and three show that the focus on marriage and the nuclear family is a narrow view that ignores the familial practices and experiences of many Americans – particularly those of women who do much of the work of maintaining kin ties and racial/ethnic minorities for whom extended kin are centrally important. Chapter four focuses on class and economic inequality and explores how an emphasis on the nuclear family may actually promulgate a vision of family life that dismisses the very social resources and community ties that are critical to the survival strategies of those in need. In chapter five, the authors argue that marriage actually detracts from social integration and ties to broader communities. Finally, in chapter six, the authors suggest that the focus on marriage and the nuclear family and the inattention to the extended family distort and reduce the power of social policy in the United States.

Here is a unique book that addresses the changing definition of family and explores the many types of relationships and the variety of people that are often central to our experience of family. A decline in the importance of traditional nuclear and extended families has led people to search for alternative relationships and support networks arising from lifestyle needs. These wider families are greater in width and scope than families formed by marriage or those that exist due to biological connections. Wider Families examines these new families and the economic and social changes that have given rise to these alternative units. This thought-provoking volume analyzes the nature of wider families through theoretical constructs and actual cases drawn from current events and scholarly research. Throughout the chapters, authoritative contributors create a new definition of “family” that offers the wider family concept as a realm of free choice and autonomy and a potential ethical model for the future. Specific models of wider families such as lesbian families, communes in the 1970s, and relationships among members of a yacht club offer clear illustrations of the wider family in operation. Family researchers, professors teaching marriage and family courses, professors of introductory sociology courses emphasizing the family, as well as “futurist” scholars, will find this insightful volume to be a helpful tool in recognizing and understanding the important changes in the concept of family, and its impact on the future of our society.
