The Way We Never Were: American Families and the Nostalgia Trap
Coontz writes that the "traditional family" of the 1950's was a qualitatively new phenomenon. In this decade the birth rate rose dramatically; social problems such as gangs, drugs, and violence weren't even on the horizon. Affluence was assumed to be a right of citizenship as the middle class was growing. This well-researched, clearly- written book provides an eye-opening perspective on the family. 2000, Basic Books, reprint edition
The Way We Really Are: Coming to Terms with America's Changing Families
This thoughtful, somber - and realistic study reviews the evolution of today's family from the immediate post-World War II period. The fifties are often idealized as a time when family life seemed easier to shape and hold. Coontz provides a wide ranging and detailed discussion of all the forms of family life today. 1998, Basic Books, reprint edition
