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.

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.

Love Grows and Grows is a flourishing story for an extended family that illustrates a healthy and collaborative approach to shared parenting. Designed as hybrid flowers of humans, the characters themselves are a metaphor for growth and evolution towards love. The story follows the young siblings Flora and Leaf as they move into a new and unknown life between two homes: one with mom and one with dad and his new wife. Their journey highlights the challenges associated with the creation of extended families: a child's concern to meet someone new and, finally, choose to accept and embrace this person as part of their secular family. With love and patience, we see a mother and stepmother represent a wonderful example of how to put their children first, working together to create a mixed family with happy and confident children. This example of unconditional love is what allows Flora and Leaf to adopt a new definition of typical family and cultivate a new "normal" that benefits all involved. I am honored that critics have already deemed Love Grows and Grows to be "revolutionary", referring to my work as "one of the most beautiful stories ever told". While the book refers to expanding families post-separation, the lessons taught here are applicable to all contemproary famly dynamics. Love Grows and Grows in an invaluable resouce to anyone who is uncoupling and has young children. This book introduces the reader to all of the good that can emerge from what may seem like yet another challenge of a lifetime-- welcoming a new co-parent into a divorced family unit. This book has become a priceless tool useful in accompanying a child theough his or her journey of becoming a blended family.

As Christianity in Africa is witnessing an unprecedented growth in membership, the author argues that in order to sustain its momentous growth and deepen the faith particularly among Catholics, the Church needs to acculturate an African model that resonates with Africans’ religiosity, cultural consciousness and worldview. The author contends that the model of the Church as the Extended family of God is best suited for an African ecclesiology and deepening the faith of African Christians.

The Material Family is a bold new reading of the family, focusing on “new” or “post-nuclear,” “flexible” family forms such as gay family, divorce-extended family, and transnational family. Reading across a range of texts from high theory to literature and popular films, the book crosses disciplinary boundaries to offer a highly innovative and dynamic approach to changes in gender and other family relations. Unlike most books in the fields of cultural and family studies, The Material Family provides an historical and materialist argument connecting the changes within family to underlying shifts in material, labor relations in global capitalism. The “post-nuclear” family is not only an affective space, Torrant argues, but one whose affects are themselves fundamentally shaped by class. The Material Family is a must-read for anyone who wants to venture beyond the surfaces of family life to the deeper-lying relations that have made the family and its new forms among the most important spaces of social life. Its readers will include not only students and researchers in the fields of education, cultural theory and cultural studies, women’s studies, sociology, and anthropology, but also general readers interested in understanding contemporary families and their struggles.
