This reader serves as both an excellent companion to other texts in the sociology of marriage and the family, and as a useful source of information on its own. Cherlin has written this book as a perfect supplement to his Public and Private Families text; its 16 chapters, which address contemporary issues such as the history of the family, welfare and welfare reform, divorce and stepparenting, and teen pregnancy, complement the 16 chapters in Cherlin’s other text. The author introduces each chapter, providing helpful lead-ins to the readings that follow. Using a well-balanced mix of highly accessible selections from the popular press as well as articles from several scholarly journals, this text contains 29 readings which address both public and private perspectives on the family.
