In the Name of the Family: Rethinking Family Values in the Postmodern Age

"The dizzying speed of changes in family configurations has made many nostalgic for a simpler time; but the correct response to bouts of nostalgia should be the same as the classic response to the desire to exercise--lie down until the impulse passes....[Stacey] argues forcefully against what she regards as the punitive and mean-spirited solutions offered by conservatives, such as efforts to get men back into the home by restoring their dominance there."Judith Stacey is the author of 'In the Name of the Family: Rethinking Family Values in the Postmodern Age', published 1996 under ISBN 9780788167508 and ISBN 0788167502.
