«Family. Everyone has one, and each one is different. This unconventional book challenges traditional notions of the nuclear family by presenting voices from around the world in a series of snapshots. It asks: Who belongs to the family? What economic and social functions does the family fulfill? What shapes the family, and how does it shape us? Key questions being discussed in local settings around the globe demonstrate how complex and diverse – but also how similar – the idea of the family is across cultures. This is an invitation to reflect on one’s own concept of family.»
