Despite much talk of its decline, the nuclear family persists as a
structure central to contemporary society, a fact to be lamented,
according to the ideas of Michele Barrett and Mary McIntosh. The
Anti-social Family dissects the network of household, kinship and
sexual relations that constitute the family form in advanced
capitalist societies to show how they reinforce conditions of
inequality. This classic work explores the personal and social
needs that the family promises to meet but more often denies, and
proposes moral and political practices for more egalitarian caring
alternatives.
