In The Abolitionists (a companion volume to The Shaking of the
Foundations) Ronald Fletcher turns his attention to those critics
who have advocated the abolition of the family. Blaming the
strength of the family for all discontents, they see the family as
the deeply entrenched last bastion of an exploitative capitalist
society - an obstacle to social progress and a prop for patriarchy.
These new critics have exerted a growing influence throughout the
1970s and 1980s, and this is the first book to subject them to a
systematic critical appraisal. The Abolitionists is a controversial
and impressive defence of the modern family shaped by a century and
a half of humane reform.
