About the Book

A number of societal risks pose serious challenges to families' well-being, many of which cut across divisions of class and race. These challenges include: changes in the labor market and economy; the increasing participation of mothers in the labor force; the changing nature of family structure and the composition of households; and the increase in the number of immigrant families. Key institutions in the lives of families, including places of employment and schools, can play a significant role in fostering families' capacity to adapt to the potential challenges they face. Resilience Across Contexts: Family, Work, Culture, and Community presents papers--written by leading scholars in varied disciplines including economics, developmental and educational psychology, education, and sociology--discussing factors that influence resilience development. The authors' research focuses on emerging issues that have significant implications for policy and practice in such areas as employment and new technologies; maternal employment and family development; family structure and family life; immigration, migration, acculturation, and education of children and youth; and social and human services delivery. The book's overall goal is to take stock of what is known from research and practice on some of the challenges facing children and families for policy development and improvement of practices.

Review :
"The main defining characteristic of the book is its extensive coverage and the information it provides....Its subtitle, Family, Work, Culture, and Community, alludes to the multiplicity of topics studied and the contextual richness considered....The strength resides mainly in the book being an important resource that also provides various disciplinary perspectives on the issues, with extensive literature cited....[the authors] shed light on important issues and give the reader food for thought. This is a must read for all those interested in resilience across the contexts of family, work, culture, and community." —Contemporary Psychology "The editors have created an invaluable resource for those interested in research, social policy, and its applicability. The chapters are well-referenced, providing further resources for the reader." —The Family Journal: Counseling and Therapy for Couples and Families
