Parenthood between Generations: Transforming Reproductive Cultures (Fertility, Reproduction and Sexuality: Social and Cultural Perspectives, 32)

Recent literature has identified modern "parenting" as an expert-led practice--one which begins with pre-pregnancy decisions, entails distinct types of intimate relationships, places intense burdens on mothers and increasingly on fathers too. Exploring within diverse historical and global contexts how men and women make--and break--relations between generations when becoming parents, this volume brings together innovative qualitative research by anthropologists, historians, and sociologists. The chapters focus tightly on inter-generational transmission and demonstrate its importance for understanding how people become parents and rear children.
