This book explores two contemporary combative views regarding the
search for just families. These views arise from the conundrum of
the family being seen as a supportive, nurturing "haven" versus a
grievously unjust, harmful institution that violates the rights and
freedoms of any individual family member. Triggered by anti-family
movements, which have been inspired by the ideas of some theorists
and writers, the book addresses the question: Is family destined to
wither away? It challenges the radical idea that the solution to
the problem of unjust families is their complete replacement by
purportedly just anti-familial alternatives. Chhanda Gupta advances
a distinct reformist and reconciliatory view that the expulsion of
either side of the family-anti-family binary is not the answer. She
seeks to syncretize the seemingly irreconcilable ideas propagated
through that philosophical binary. Furthermore, she urges that the
search for just families must find its answer in clarifying how the
term "just" applies to the characters, behaviors, and attitudes of
people who comprise actual families. The search is not for a
perfectly just society or polity, or even for a perfectly just
family. Instead it is a search for ways to redress the remediable
injustices that occur in families, in order to benefit and uplift
individuals and families and the societies in which they live.
