Description
LaRossa explores the experience of parenthood from a sociological perspective. He starts from the premise that parenthood is a social construct; that parenthood is a social institution and that parental perceptions of their roles are socially defined. LaRossa then examines how and why the meaning of parenthood has been redefined over time; how the experience of parenthood differs between the sexes and how this difference has evolved.
