Gender, Politics, and State Development in a Global Context
Paperback
Publication Date: 18/04/2003
From Prague to Tennessee to Brazil, it's hard to find a consensus on what constitutes an average family. In today's world, the nuclear family is rarely the standard family structure, if it ever was. Families of a New World brings together an important collection of original works to examine our understanding of family around the world and how that understanding is shaped by state policy. Using examples from both historical and modern countries around the world, essays demonstrate not only how state policies shape what the family should look and act like, but also how governments have appropriated and regulated an approved 'ideal' of the family to further their own agendas. Cynthia Brantley, University of California. Laura Briggs, University of Arizona. Joy Damousi, University of Melbourne. Lynne Haney, New York University. Laura Lovett
