Download or read book The Social Origins of Private Life written by Stephanie Coontz and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current debates about the future of the family are often based on serious misconceptions about its past. Arguing that there is no biologically mandated or universally functional family form, Stephanie Coontz traces the complexity and variety of family arrangements in American history, from Native American kin groups to the emergence of the dominant middle-class family ideal in the 1890s. Surveying and synthesizing a vast range of previous scholarship, as well as engaging more particular studies of family life from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries, Coontz offers a highly original account of the shifting structure and function of American families. Her account challenges standard interpretations of the early hegemony of middle-class privacy and "affective individualism," pointing to the rich tradition of alternative family behaviors among various ethnic and socioeconomic groups in America, and arguing that even middle-class families went through several transformations in the course of the nineteenth centure. The present dominant family form, grounded in close interpersonal relations and premised on domestic consumption of mass-produced household goods has arisen, Coontz argues, from a long and complex series of changing political and economic conjunctures, as well as from the destruction or incorporation of several alternative family systems. A clear conception of American capitalism's combined and uneven development is therefore essential if we are to understand the history of the family as a key social and economic unit. Lucid and detailed, The Social Origins of Private Life is likely to become the standard history of its subject.

Download or read book Marriage Markets written by June Carbone and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a time when the phrase "American family" conjured up a single, specific image: a breadwinner dad, a homemaker mom, and their 2.5 kids living comfortable lives in a middle-class suburb. Today, that image has been shattered, due in part to skyrocketing divorce rates, single parenthood, and increased out-of-wedlock births. But whether it is conservatives bewailing the wages of moral decline and women's liberation, or progressives celebrating the result of women's greater freedom and changing sexual mores, most Americans fail to identify the root factor driving the changes: economic inequality that is remaking the American family along class lines. In Marriage Markets, June Carbone and Naomi Cahn examine how macroeconomic forces are transforming our most intimate and important spheres, and how working class and lower income families have paid the highest price. Just like health, education, and seemingly every other advantage in life, a stable two-parent home has become a luxury that only the well-off can afford. The best educated and most prosperous have the most stable families, while working class families have seen the greatest increase in relationship instability. Why is this so? The book provides the answer: greater economic inequality has profoundly changed marriage markets, the way men and women match up when they search for a life partner. It has produced a larger group of high-income men than women; written off the men at the bottom because of chronic unemployment, incarceration, and substance abuse; and left a larger group of women with a smaller group of comparable men in the middle. The failure to see marriage as a market affected by supply and demand has obscured any meaningful analysis of the way that societal changes influence culture. Only policies that redress the balance between men and women through greater access to education, stable employment, and opportunities for social mobility can produce a culture that encourages commitment and investment in family life. A rigorous and enlightening account of why American families have changed so much in recent decades, Marriage Markets cuts through the ideological and moralistic rhetoric that drives our current debate. It offers critically needed solutions for a problem that will haunt America for generations to come.

Download or read book The Way We Never Were written by Stephanie Coontz and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive edition of the classic, myth-shattering history of the American family Leave It to Beaver was not a documentary, a man's home has never been his castle, the "male breadwinner marriage" is the least traditional family in history, and rape and sexual assault were far higher in the 1970s than they are today. In The Way We Never Were, acclaimed historian Stephanie Coontz examines two centuries of the American family, sweeping away misconceptions about the past that cloud current debates about domestic life. The 1950s do not present a workable model of how to conduct our personal lives today, Coontz argues, and neither does any other era from our cultural past. This revised edition includes a new introduction and epilogue, exploring how the clash between growing gender equality and rising economic inequality is reshaping family life, marriage, and male-female relationships in our modern era. More relevant than ever, The Way We Never Were is a potent corrective to dangerous nostalgia for an American tradition that never really existed.

The fore fat hei DEGREES of all who spell their name Wanzer, had their beginning in Newfairfield. Ct.; henee it seems proper to give a hrief history of the town. New Fairfield is bounded on the north by Sherman, east by New Milford and Brookfield, south by Danbury, and west by New York state. Abraham', who came to this town in 1737 (see first deed in this book) first spelled his name Wanzer after he settled here. New P DEGREESairfield was at first spelled Newfairfield, all in one word, the nfldest deeds show this, named, no doubt, from Fairfield, Conn. From the history of Fairfield Co., Conn., by Hurd, in 1881, we copy the following: This town was granted to twelve proprietors, who made a division and allotment of rights and surveyed at about 1736-7. The grant composed the present towns of New Fairfield and Sherman, Ct., called the "lower and upper seven miles." The choice of location in the allotment was won by Ebenezer Burr of Fairfield [perhaps he named this town] who, not having examined the township, chose the centre plot, in the lower seven miles, which, when located and surveyed, included a large part of what is called "short woods," a mountain portion, and the least valuable of any of the township. The remains of a dwelling occupied by some of the descendants of Ebenezer Burr still exist near the residence of Richard Barrett. The southeastern portion of the town, easterly from Wood Creek, was surveyed by Thomas and John Edwards, of Stratford in 1737. Their survey comprised a tract of two hundred and thirty-six acres f nd...
