This volume investigates the evolving methodologies and conceptual frameworks required to study the intersection of family structures and community dynamics amidst significant social and generational change. Edited by Rosalind Edwards, the book compiles contributions from various social scientists who examine how historical data, longitudinal studies, and qualitative life histories can be re-evaluated to understand contemporary social shifts. The text argues for a rigorous, reflexive approach to secondary analysis and the integration of diverse sociological perspectives to address the complexities of modern family life.
