Red Families v. Blue Families: Legal Polarization and the Creation of Culture

Featuring groundbreaking research, this penetrating book identifies a new family model geared for the post-industrial economy. The authors show how the Red-Blue divide goes much deeper than the well-known value system conflict, detailing how the Red States have increasingly said "no" to Blue State legal norms, and, as a result, family law has been rent in two. The authors close with a consideration of where these different family systems still overlap, andsuggest solutions that permit rebuilding support for both types of families.
