Reviews
Families As They Really Are is an anthology as it really should be--an admirably comprehensive collection of provocative essays by the top scholars studying families today., Here's a book destined to make publishers of textbooks on U.S. family studies tremble. Families As They Really Are is bursting its generous seams with lively, lucid, authoritative, original essays on every form and facet of contemporary family life. This fabulous collection presents work by a cavalcade of the field's most preeminent and creative scholars. No textbook can possibly compete., Impressive... This careful book may ignite new attention to Sor Juana in English, for which Grossman will deserve even more praise., "Edith Grossman's judicious selection and eloquent translation of the writings of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz will bring many new readers to the work of this "Tenth Muse," the first major poet of the New World. The poems chosen for inclusion illustrate her extraordinary range, and the epistolary exchange between 'Sor Filotea' and Sor Juana reveals the perilous context of her writing life.", A welcome new translation of the charismatic Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz! Historians of feminism will be especially drawn to this version of her classic, impassioned letter to the misogynistic bishop whom she mistakenly thought was 'Sor Filotea.', Her language is a lesson in speaking to the moment and to the centuries both, and Edith Grossman captures its suggestiveness with a calm elegance., Families As They Really Are is a dream edited collection--solid sociology from leading scholars yet also readable and real., The story of America's families is too often narrowed to fit a predetermined theme. Instead, this collection presents powerful, well-written new work by a diverse roundtable of social scientists, whose wealth of research expertise is matched by a common commitment to clarity without over-simplification., This incredibly useful book goes well beyond rebutting myths about family change to provide succinct and highly readable introductions to practically every controversial family issue on the public agenda today. The attention to how class, race, gender and sexuality challenge families and shape family concerns is thoughtful and balanced.
