Barren in the Promised Land Childless Americans and the Pursuit of Happiness

"One of the questions that drives this original, important and useful book is how to understand the diversity of ways that women and men in the US feel about reproduction...[It] is also driven by the question of why both official policy and popular culture in the US push so hard for some people to raise children and for others to abstain...A scholarly book that non-academics will find plenty of reason to read...It will give readers some of the tools they need to approach today's discussions about the "birth dearth" and welfare moms with a healthy scepticism."May, Elaine T. is the author of 'Barren in the Promised Land Childless Americans and the Pursuit of Happiness' with ISBN 9780674061828 and ISBN 0674061829.
