The award-winning historian Robert O. Self is the first to argue
that the separate threads of that realignment - from civil rights
to women's rights, from the antiwar movement to Nixon's "silent
majority," from the abortion wars to gay marriage, from the welfare
state to neoliberal economic policies - all ran through the
politicized American family. All in the Family is a revelatory
narrative about the activism on the left and the right that
reshaped postwar America. With authority and nuance, Self shows
that when we disagree about gender, sex, and family, we are really
disagreeing about equality, power, and money - in essence, about
the nature and role of government itself. As Mark Schmitt put it in
his glowing review in The Washington Monthly, Self, by
demonstrating that economic and social issues are one in the same,
has rewritten recent American political history "from its most
basic assumptions."
