Abstract | "Family is the foundation of society, and debates on family norms have always touched the very heart of America. This volume investigates negotiations and transformations of family values and gender norms in the twentieth century as they relate to the overarching processes of social change. By combining long-term approaches with innovative analysis, Inventing the Modern American Family transcends not only the classical dichotomies between women's studies and masculinity studies, but also contributes substantially to the history of gen-der and culture in the United States. Taking into account debates on immigration, juvenile delinquency, welfare policy, reproduction, nationalist women's organizations, social experts and gender concepts in film and TV, the authors shed new light on normative transformations of family values and gender roles."
