Through the lenses of diversity, inclusiveness, and intersectionality, the text explores the ways in which race, ethnicity, religion, and culture can influence stepfamily structure and dynamics. Over the course of eight chapters, readers increase their awareness of the growing population of non-white, non-Christian stepfamilies. The text summarizes and critiques the existing literature on stepfamilies among various groups and proposes avenues for future policy, practice, and research. It features scholars' original data analysis, providing new information on cultural differences in stepfamily structure, attitudes, perceptions, and more. Each chapter contains a vignette designed to deepen readers' understanding of stepfamily life "on the ground" as opposed to relying solely on hypothetical, theoretical, and empirical models. Dedicated chapters address stepfamily research bias, religious diversity in stepfamilies, and the unique features and dynamics of African American, Hispanic, American Indian, and East Asian stepfamilies. Filling a gap in current literature and providing direction for future research in the discipline, Multicultural Stepfamilies is an ideal text for courses in sociology, social work, and family studies.
