Description
"This is a superb book, an absolutely indispensable book, which cuts through old debates about the family and helps put the whole subject on a new footing."--Christopher Lasch, 'New York Review of Books' "The book is heavy going, but worth the effort...[It] illustrates an important problem of modern society: our crises themselves have become socially useful."--Richard Sennett, 'New York Times Book Review' "Donzelot...[has] written a brilliant book on the intersection of society and family...[It] is an immensely rich book that needs to be studied carefully and read slowly. It is sure to place the social history of the past two centuries on an entirely new footing"--Mark Poster, 'American Journal of Sociology' "A provocative and challenging work."--'America' - from Amzon
