Unhitched: Dr. Judith Stacey
Countering the one-size-fits-all vision of family values, Judith Stacey offers readers a lively, in-person introduction to these less familiar varieties of intimacy and family and to the social, political, and economic conditions that buttress and batter them.
Taking on prejudices of both conservatives and feminists, Stacey poses a powerful challenge to the belief that the nuclear family—whether straight or gay—is the single, best way to meet our needs for intimacy and care. Stacey calls on citizens and policy-makers to make their peace with the fact that family diversity is here to stay.
