The Transformation of Family Law - State, Law, and Family in the United States and Western Europe (Hardcover, 2nd ed.)

Mary Ann Glendon offers a comparative and historical analysis of rapid and profound changes in the legal system beginning in the 1960s in England, France, West Germany, Sweden, and the United States, while bringing new and insightful interpretation and critical thought to bear on the explosion of legislation in the last decade. Glendon is generally acknowledged to be the premier comparative law scholar in the area of family law. This volume, which offers an analytical survey of the changes in family law over the past twenty-five years, will burnish that reputation. Essential reading for anyone interested in evaluating the major changes that occurred in the law of the family. . . . [And] of serious interest to those in the social sciences as well.--James B. Boskey, Law Books in Review Poses important questions and supplies rich detail.--Barbara Bennett Woodhouse, Texas Law Review An impressive scholarly documentation of the legal changes that comprise the development of a conjugally-centered family system.--Debra Friedman, Contemporary Sociology She has painted a portrait of the family in which we recognize not only ourselves but also unremembered ideological forefathers. . . . It sends our thoughts out into unexpected adventures.--Inga Markovits, Michigan Law Review
