Who is "multiracial"? And who decides? Addressing these two fundamental questions, Melinda Mills builds on the work of Heather Dalmage to explore the phenomenon—and consequences—of racial border patrolling by strangers, family members, friends, and even multiracial people themselves.

This book integrates social theory and longitudinal empirical analysis to study women's partnerships within three diverse contexts of Canada, the Netherlands and the Russian federation. Since the late 1940s, there have been several remarkable shifts in life course patterns in industrialized countries, which include the transformation of cohabitation, marriage, union dissolution and re-partnering behaviour. Many of these changes are a direct consequence of major shifts in society, characterized as 'modernity' by sociologists and the 'second demographic transition' by demographers. The social theory of British sociologist Anthony Giddens is used as a framework to understand womens' partnership decisions. The impact of time on life course behaviour and quantitative life course research is also explored. To capture the complex and dynamic nature of partnerships, and their relation to fertility decisions, this study uses life history survey data and connects multistate life tables with event history modeling techniques.

This pioneering work aims at understanding the impact of non-standard (evening, night, weekend) working time on family cohesion, meaning parent-child interaction, partnership quality and divorce or partnership dissolution. ‘Out of time - the Consequences of Non-standard Employment Schedules for Family Cohesion’ is the first work to treat this important topic in a cross-national, comparative way by using data from two large comparable surveys. The impact of work in non-standard schedules on workers can be divided into individual and social consequences. Research so far has shown the clear individual effects of these schedules, such as increased stress levels and sleeping and physical disorders. There is less clarity about social consequences. Either no or positive effects of these types of schedules on workers and their families are found, or a significant negative impact on the relations between the workers and others, especially other members of the family is shown in research results. This Brief compares the Netherlands and the United States of America, countries that both show a high prevalence of non-standard schedule work, whereas both operate in very different institutional and welfare regime settings of working time regulation. By combining both quantitative and qualitative data, the authors are able to provide generalized views of comparative surveys and challenging those generalizations at the same time, thus enabling the reader to get a better understanding and more balanced view of the actual relationship between non-standard employment schedules and family cohesion.
