A topic that affects us all: family. Everyone has one, and each is different. Contributions from newspapers, academia, forums and blogs, together with literary texts, personal accounts and photographic works, open up a worldwide kaleidoscope of historical and contemporary perspectives with Nando von Arbs cartoons offering a thoughtful commentary. An invitation to reflect on the idea and reality of family, including your own. This unconventional book breaks with traditional notions of a normative nuclear family, bringing together voices from around the world with diverse impressions. Who belongs in a family? What economic and social function does it fulfil? What shapes a family, and how does it shape us? The focus of local debates across the globe shows us how complex and different, but also how similar, the images of family are across cultures.
