Not the Cleaver Family: The New Normal in Modern American Families

Maria Leonard Olsen

4.9/5 (9013 ratings)

Description:As a biracial woman, I was frequently mistaken as the nanny of my lighter-skinned children. Assumptions have not quite caught up with Americas melting pot reality. The contemporary American family has changed drastically. Same-sex marriage is no longer uncommon. Couples are affirmatively choosing to have one child (a choice that may have elicited sympathy in our parents generation), or to be child-free. Sperm banks allow women to have their own children without a partner. A mom, a dad, and 2.5 children is no longer the norm.Within thirty years, less than half of the US population will be white. Laws prohibiting interracial marriage were banned in 1967 by the Supreme Court, and same-sex marriage is now legal. Cultural shifts and science have allowed the typical American family to no longer resemble the Cleavers of a generation ago.This book is based on hundreds of interviews with families across the country, and illustrates just how the normative paradigm of the American family has changed. Fron these stories, we can examine the scope of the changes and sometimes ignorant reactions to such changes. This book is designed to raise our collective consciousness about what the contemporary American family has become, and help educators and caring citizens remain aware of and appreciate our evolving society. It is a message of hope and call for education and inclusion. Also available in paperback. www.MariaLeonardOlsen.comWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
