Family and Class in a London Suburb: Routledge Library Editions: Family

Autor Peter Willmott, Michael Young
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 aug 2023
Originally published in 1960, the authors of Family and Kinship in East London then made an intensive study of a middle-class dormitory suburb. Here families were more often on their own than in the East End, but, despite the differences between the districts, there were some similarities. The bond between mother and married daughter was almost as strong in the suburb as in the city. Most old people, too, were cared for in both places by their children and other relatives, though the authors show how serious were the special problems of the aged in this suburban setting.
The enquiry examined the influence of social class upon community life. This is reviewed in relation to club and church membership and to friendship patterns, and the behaviour of middle and working-class people to each other is discussed. Class tensions, and their effect on the otherwise friendly and neighbourly atmosphere that the authors found in the suburb, provide the main theme of the final chapters.

Recenzii

Review for the original 1960 publication:
"The bones of hard-won statistics are astutely given flesh and life by some colourful case-histories … it owes as much to the indigenous tradition of Charles Booth as to Middletown and is suffused with a not wholly disguised humanism which in itself contributes to interested writing and therefore interesting reading." – The Times Literary Supplement
