Opis

At a time when same-sex marriage, gay adoption, and the rise of single-parent households challenge traditional views of the family, this innovative volume helps readers put such issues into social and legal perspective. Engster and Metz bring together essential readings in political and legal theory and organize them to illuminate pressing contemporary debates: gender and justice, parents and children, the state and globalization. They add original introductions, tracing the key ethical, political, and legal principles at stake, and offer interpretive summaries and recommended readings to flesh out the core of the book. Chapters by luminaries including Jean Bethke Elshtain, Judith Stacey, and Arlie Hochschild ensure lively reading and a diverse range of views.
