The Meanings of Marital Equality (SUNY series in the Philosophy of the Social Sciences) - Hardcover

"Harris does an excellent job clarifying the differences between objectivist and constructionist perspectives. The issues he discusses are vital for any social scientific field. In some subfields, such as social problems research, the constructionist perspective is well established. In the family field there has been some discussion but no sustained presentation of how a constructionist perspective would offer an alternative way of understanding family life--Harris's book makes a real contribution here."
