Summary

Families have always been at the center of sociological research, but there has been a tendency to focus on an adult perspective and narrative - children are rarely seen as subjects in their own right. Jensen and McKee assert there's a compelling need to explore the child's role in major familial decisions such as divorce, moving, employment or childcare, and this edited collection researches family change from the child's point of view.
