Embattled Paradise The American Family In An

Was there really a golden age of the family in the 1950sor ever? This penetrating history of the American family mounts a withering criticism of the "culture of nostalgia" that clouds current debate and offers a plan for reconstituting the American family dream.

Arlene Skolnick is a professor of human development at the University of California, Berkely, and author of The Intimate Environment.
