Family and Kinship in East London

Family and Kinship in East London

Editorial Reviews
Charles Madge, New Statesman
"Astonishing as it may seem, this is probably not only the fullest, but virtually the only account of working class family relationships in any country. The general reader will find it full of meat and free of jargon."

Book Description
One of the pioneering works of modern sociology, Family and Kinship in East London is a study of family life in the East End of London in the 1950s, based on extensive interviews and case studies, which examines the consequences of moving families from urban to suburban public housing. The book was first published in 1954, updated in 1989, and is here presented with a new foreword by Judith Stacey.
