Description
"Families As We Are offers an informed response to the policy makers and media pundits who have joined forces to bemoan the "decline of the family."". "Like the works of Studs Terkel, Families As We Are has at its core the words and ideas of ordinary people. Perdita Huston spent more than four years interviewing three and four generations of families of all socioeconomic backgrounds in eleven countries, from Bangladesh and Brazil to Uganda and the United States. These interviews - and Huston's original thoughts about them - join to create a uniquely rich and readable book."--BOOK JACKET.
