Read the Introduction.
In an era in which our conception of what constitutes a "normal"
family has undergone remarkable changes, questions have arisen
regarding the role of the state in "normalizing" families through
public policy. In what ways should the law seek to facilitate, or
oppose, parenting and child-rearing practices that depart from the
"nuclear family" with two heterosexual parents? What should the
state's stance be on single parent families, unwed motherhood, or
the adoption of children by gay and lesbian parents? How should
authority over child rearing and education be divided between
parents and the state? And how should the state deal with the
inequalities that arise from birthright citizenship?
Through critical essays divided into four parts-Adoption, Race,
and Public Policy; Education and Parental Authority; Same Sex
Families; and Birthright Citizenship-Child, Family, and State
considers the philosophical, political, and legal dilemmas that
surround these difficult and divisive questions. An invaluable
resource in these contentious debates, Child, Family, and State
illuminates the moral questions that lie before policymakers and
citizens when contemplating the future of children and
families.
