Abstract:
"Now in its fourth edition, Family Matters offers an enriched discussion on a variety of substantive issues experienced by diverse Canadians across the life course. Adopting a feminist sociological approach throughout, this popular textbook explores family dynamics through a critical life course theoretical lens. This over-arching perspective is used to examine how social, economic, and historical processes related to gender roles, age and generational location, ethnicity and race, geographical location, and social change shape contemporary family life. This fourth edition includes updated statistics and census data. It provides more detailed and nuanced discussions of many areas, including more emphasis on life course theory. Other topics include the history of slavery and Black family life in Canada, Indigenous families, foreign/temporary workers, intersectional and racialized processes influencing family life courses, youth activism, transgendered children, technology and social media influences on family relationships, and the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on aging families."--
