This wide-ranging and excellent volume grew out of symposia held at the American Anthropological Association annual meeting in 1986 and at the 12th International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences in Zagreb
Two chapters draw on both secondary data. and original research to construct models explaining "mother-child families" (Rae Lesser Blumberg) and "matrifocal families" in low-income groups (Anna Lou Dehavenon). Another two address policy planning issues that pertain to female-headed households in South Asia (Andrea Menefee Singh) and in the United States (Anna Lou Dehavenon and Anne Okongwu)
Summary
Title Women, Education, and Family Structure in India.Carol Chapnick Mukhopadhyay and Susan Seymour, eds Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2k90r6d1. The 12 contributors are anthropologists and sociologists; about half of them are academics, and the other contributors work in a variety of settings in which they deal directly with social research and policy issues relating to female-headed households. The 14 chapters (including a very thorough and helpful introduction by the editors, Joan Mencher and Anne Okongwu, and a short summary at the end ofthe volume) vary in approach.
