- Carter’s contribution to the Palgrave McMillan Family and Intimate Life series encompasses extensive data from four different research projects on intimate life, providing 228 pages of diverse and eclectic analysis of the social and cultural production of ‘coupledom’. Presenting case studies ranging from personal life in the 1950s, young women and marriage, the rise of cohabitation, and living apart together, a new approach to understanding the complexities of contemporary personal life emerges. A potential policy template of domestic living possibilities is created that decentres the traditional model of family domestic life so central to social theory and public policy.
