Summary

"Taking as its focus three familiar and profoundly influential social institutions, the family, work and welfare, this text looks at their role in maintaining social order and promoting social change in the UK from the 1950s to the beginning of the twenty-first century. It shows how everyday life within these institutions is ordered by the constant exercise of processes of power and resistance and it charts the ways in which wider social changes have influenced these processes." "This is a key introductory text for all students beginning study in sociology, social policy or general social sciences."--Jacket.
