Abstract

An exploration of the relationship between ethnicity, parenting and family life.

Relatively little is known about parenting and family life in minority ethnic communities. As British society becomes increasingly multi-ethnic, comprising diverse religious and cultural traditions, it is important to develop an adequate understanding of the needs and concerns of racially and ethnically differing groups.

Based on empirical research, this study:

provides an authoritative account of the lives of ‘ordinary’ families from a range of diverse ethnic groupings;
discusses support networks, parental authority and discipline, attitudes to education, change and continuity, and racial and ethnic socialisation.
