Opis

Each essay in this collection treats a particular historical or contemporary topic of civic concern. Some are centered on current family crises and issues; the family wage, child abuse, the new eugenics; others look to the wider national and international polity. Yet each, insistently, returns to common themes; the many faces and forms of power; struggles for autonomy as well as deep commitment to human sociality and community. All are rooted in Jean Bethke Elshtain's profoundly human perspective.
