- This monograph explores changes in family lives, gender and practices in neoliberal times. It is methodologically powerful in its rigorous use of qualitative longitudinal data collected by interview over 18 years, which is used to examine/theorise process and societal change. The longitudinal focus gives it originality and it tells an engaging and convincing set of stories about contemporary parenting. This is an important topic with consequences for social policy and sociology of the family. One review noted that “Other scholars will refer to it for its findings, its analysis and its method. It should therefore have enduring international sociological significance”.
