Anti-Social Family

Although family values are frequently lamented for being in decline, our society
continues to be structured around the nuclear family.
The Anti-Social Family
dissects the network of household, kinship and sexual relations that constitute the
family form in advanced capitalist societies. This classic work explores the personal
and social needs that the family promises to meet but more often denies, and
proposes moral and political practices that go beyond the family to more egalitarian
caring alternatives
