According to this text the most pressing challenge facing contemporary educators and social theorists is how to deal with new configurations of family without slipping into nostalgic or deficit models. Victoria Carrington reframes the nuclear family in a way that challenges traditional theorizations. She takes the reader on a wide-ranging journey towards a new kind of family, drawing upon theorists such as Bourdieu, Wilden, Deleuze and Guattari.
