Book Synopsis Stepfamilies by : Marvin B. Sussman
Book excerpt: Examines the language use, laws, cultural stereotypes, media images, and social policies and practices that contribute to views about stepfamilies and their members in mainstream western culture. Some of the issues addressed are how honor and empowerment can be attained in new family structures, how alternative kin networks can be as health as traditional nuclear families, and the damaging effects of treating stepfamilies as incomplete and undesirable institutions. The 17 articles are also published as Marriage and Family Review v. 26, nos. 1/2/3/4. Paper edition (0338-4), $24.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
