Summary:

How can attention to kinship enhance the qualitative study of public services, such as schooling and health promotion? This question underscores several qualitative studies in which the authors have been involved, each engaging what is called the 'family sample' method summarised here. Involving research in Europe, Africa, North and South Americas, and the Caribbean, these studies take family dynamics not as the object of analysis but as a tool for assessing how in a globalising world, tensions between rapid social change and pressures to maintain continuity with the past (imagined and real) are balanced by people who together affirm a deep sense of relatedness.
