Title
In Defense Of Singleparent Families,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Singleparent families succeed. Within these families children thrive, develop, and grow, just as they do in a variety of family structures. Tragically, they must do so in the face of powerful legal and social stigma that works to undermine them.As Nancy E. Dowd argues in this bold and original book, the justifications for stigmatizing singleparent families are founded largely on myths, myths used to rationalize harshly punitive social policies. Children, in increasing numbers, bear the brunt of those policies. In this generation, more than twothirds of all children will spend some time in a singleparent family before reaching age 18. The damage done in the name of justified stigma, therefore, harms a great many children. Dowd details the primary justifications for stigmatizing singleparent families, marshalling an impressive array of resources about single parents that portray a very different picture of these families. She describes them in all their forms, with particular attention to the differential treatment given nevermarried and divorced single parents, and to the impact of gender, race, and class. Emphasizing that all families face significant conflicts between work and family responsibilities, Dowd argues many twoparent families, in fact, function as singleparent caregiving households. The success or failure of families, she contends, has little to do with form. Many of the problems faced by singleparent families mirror problems faced by all families.Illustrating the harmful impact of current laws concerning divorce, welfare, and employment, Dowd makes a powerful case for centering policy around the welfare and equality of all children. A thoughtprovoking examination of the stereotypes, realities and possibilities of singleparent families, In Defense of SingleParent Families asks us to consider the true purpose or goal of a family.
