Reframing theories for understanding race, ethnicity, and families

pp. 627-649
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss what conceptual perspectives and theoretical frameworks explain and predict family phenomena among ethnic minority families. Three major discussions provide the basis to our examination: (1) restructuring assumptions and values to reflect ethnic reality; (2) creating new ways of thinking about ethnic minority families to enhance culturally relevant conceptual frameworks on the family; and (3) reframing existing theoretical perspectives and ideologies to explain and predict family phenomena among these families. Central to each of these discussions is the importance of cultural distinctiveness as it relates to the family.
