Not-So-Nuclear Families: Class, Gender, and Networks of Care
"In vivid portraits drawn from the top and bottom of the social-class ladder, Hansen shows the profound effect social class has on care. Well observed, beautifully written, this book is a must read." -Arlie Hochschild, author of The Commercialization of Intimate Life: Notes from Home and Work "Not-So-Nuclear Families makes an important contribution to our understanding of how parents orchestrate 'care' for their children among U.S. families widely perceived as not having the same challenges and problems as everyone else."-Barbara Schneider, University of Chicago"
