Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'This is the most important study ever written on motherhood and marriage among low-income urban women. Edin and Kefalas's timely, engaging, and well-written book is a careful ethnographic study that paints an indelible portrait of family life in poor communities and, in the process, provides incredible insights on the explosion of mother-only families within these communities.'--William Julius Wilson, author of The Bridge over the Racial Divide'This book provides the most insightful and comprehensive account I have read of the reasons why many low-income women postpone marriage but don't postpone childbearing. Edin and Kefalas do an excellent job of illuminating the changing meaning of marriage in American society.'--Andrew Cherlin, author of Public and Private Families'Edin and Kefalas provide an original and convincing argument for why low-income women continue to embrace motherhood while postponing and raising the bar on marriage. This book is a must read for students of the family as well as for policy makers and practitioners who hope to rebuild marriage in low-income communities.'--Sara McLanahan, author of Growing Up with a Single Parent'Promises I Can Keep is the best kind of exploration: honest, incisive and ever-so-original.

This is a must read for anyone interested in the tangled intersection of family and public policy.'--Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here.…
