Personal Life2007

new directions in sociological thinking

by Carol Smart

"[Smart] gives emphasis to ideas of connectedness, relationality and embeddedness ... [H]er approach prioritizes the bond between people, the importance of memory and cultural heritage, the significance of emotions (both positive and negative), how family secrets work and change over time, and the underestimated importance of things such as shared possessions or homes in the maintenance and memory of relationships."--Cover, p.4.
