Rezension zu „Fragile Families and the Marriage Agenda “
From the reviews: "Kowaleski-Jones and Wolfinger gather nine papers that discuss unmarried and single-parent families, which they collectively call a ~fragile familiesa (TM) a ] and in doing so expose both the science as well as a number of additional flawed assumptions that underlie the marriage agenda. a ] In considering the book as a whole, one can identify clear strengths. The collection includes a solid focus on fathers; considers differences between Caucasian and African American families; and mentions a range of other issues, such as patriarchy, domestic violence, and prevention efforts." (Richard Niolon, PsycCritiques, June, 2006)
