Red Families v. Blue Families: Legal Polarization and the Creation of Culture
Cahn, Naomi (Research Professor of Law, Research Professor of Law, George Washington University Law School, Washington, DC)
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.
