"This valuable source for a systematic and comprehensive understanding
of Durkheim′s ideas on the family constitutes a major addition to
the literature on the family, social theory, women′s studies, and
family law. Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates and
above." -CHOICE Emile Durkheim on the Family is intended to bring
attention to this classical sociologist′s work on the family.
Durkheim′s writings in this area are little known, but the family
was nevertheless one of his primary interests, the subject of an
intended book that was never written. Durkheim′s ideas on the family
appear only in scattered sources and a number of those sources have
not been translated into English. Durkheim′s Sociology of the family
has not heretofore been presented and analyzed holistically. The
purpose of Lamanna′s book is to bring together Durkheim′s ideas on
the family from diverse sources and to present his family sociology
systematically and comprehensively. Quotations from Durkheim′s
writing or speaking enrich the analysis. Durkheim′s work on the
family is situated in its historical context and comparisons are drawn
to present-day sociology of the family is situated in its historical
context and comparisons are drawn to present-day sociology of the

studying the family The changing relationship of kin Conjugal family
and the state The interior of the family Family policy Gender
Sexuality An examination of Durkheim′s work on the family reveals
its close connections to his wee-known books and theories. Emile
Durkheim on the Family should interest audiences in sociology of the
family, social theory, family science, European intellectual history
women′s studies, legal history, and those generally interested in
family studies and / or nineteenth and early twentieth century Europe.
