Markella B Rutherford

Adult Supervision Required

Private Freedom and Public Constraints for Parents and Children

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Adult Supervision Required considers the contradictory ways in which contemporary American culture has imagined individual autonomy for parents and children. Using popular parenting advice literature as a springboard for a broader sociological analysis of the American family, Markella B. Rutherford explores how our increasingly psychological conception of the family might be jeopardising our appreciation for parents' and children's public lives and civil liberties.
