Who's Fit to be a Parent? Summary
| "Who's Fit to be a Parent?" conducts a thorough and wide-ranging investigation into how society currently judges parents by looking at the professions who assess parenting skills and examining the charges that are made against certain "unfit" groups who are, nonetheless, becoming more widespread as parents (for example, those who are single, gay, disabled, or drug-addicted). Bringing together professional and academic research which challenges traditional views of how to assess parenting with the personal experiences of a wide range of "non-conventional" families, Mukti Jain Campion also examines the role of the media in guiding public opinion and opening up the boundaries of what is considered "normal." The book concludes with a challenging proposal for a new framework by which to understand and assess parenting in the twenty-first century. |
