About the Book
‘Families in our Time’ is a sociological study and visual insight into a small sample of family units in contemporary Britain.
'It’s a book that helps to dispel powerful myths about what families should look like, reminding us that sometimes there aren’t two parents there, that families re-form with step-parents and step-siblings adding to the mix, that even if we do not see family members often, the connection can remain important, that grand-parents can have an important part to play, that many families foster and adopt, creating rich and varied family forms, that families do not always involve children, and that pets too have their part to play!
