Reviews"This is a superb book, an absolutely indispensable book, which cuts through old debates about the family and helps put the whole subject on a new footing."--Christopher Lasch, New York Review of Books, "The book is heavy going, but worth the effort... [It] illustrates an important problem of modern society: our crises themselves have become socially useful."--Richard Sennett, New York Times Book Review, "Donzelot... [has] written a brilliant book on the intersection of society and family... [It] is an immensely rich book that needs to be studied carefully and read slowly. It is sure to place the social history of the past two centuries on an entirely new footing."--Mark Poster, American Journal of Sociology
