Reviews

"""A powerful critique of the ideology of the family in the neo-liberal state, offering inspiring alternatives of active expansion of conceptions of care and kinship."" Jeffrey Champlin, Bard College Berlin ""The primary new contribution of the book to this old debate over the justice of the family is in Charen’s positing of kinship as a substitute for the conventional conception of the family. … [The] book opens a door to the imagination of such alternatives."" Rita Koganzon, Perspectives on Politics"
