Title
Single Mother: The Emergence Of The Domestic Intellectual,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Long perceived as the ultimate symbol of social breakdown and sexual irresponsibility, the single mother is now, in the context of welfaretowork policies, often hailed as the new spokesperson for hard work and selfsufficiency. A dozen years after Dan Quayle denounced the television character Murphy Brown for making the decision to become a single mother just another lifestyle choice, President George W. Bush applauded single mothers for heroic work, and positive onscreen representations of single mothers abound, from The Gilmore Girls to Sex and the City to American Idol.Single Mother describes the recent cultural valorization of this figure thatin the midst of demographic changes in the U.S.has emerged as the unlikely heroic and seductive voice of the new American family. Drawing on her own life as a single mother, interviews with dozens of other single mothers, cultural representations, and policies on welfare, immigration, childcare, and child custody, Juffer analyzes this contingent acceptance of single mothers. Finally, critiquing the relentless emphasis on selfsufficiency to the exclusion of community, Juffer shows the remarkable organizing skills of these new mothers of invention. At a moment when onethird of all babies are born to single moms, Single Mother is a fascinating and necessary examination of these new domestic intellectuals.
