Family. Everyone has one, and each one is different.
This unconventional book challenges traditional
notions of the nuclear family by presenting voices
from around the world in a series of “snapshots.”
It asks: Who belongs to the family?

What economic and social functions does the family fulfill?

What shapes the family, and how does it shape us?

Key questions being discussed in local settings around the
globe demonstrate how complex and diverse - but
also how similar - the idea of the family is across
cultures. This is an invitation to reflect on one’s own
concept of family.
