Ann HulbertPublication Details
Book1st edAlfred A. Knopf2003Description
In this probing inquiry into America?s preoccupation with raising children, Ann Hulbert blends biography and critical analysis to probe the personal dramas, the scientific claims, and the social visions of a succession of experts who during the twentieth century aimed to make a science of child rearing. As the millennium approached, a new host of advisers contended for primacy?from cognitive experts anxious to fine-tune children?s intellectual growth to parenting-specialists-turned-public-advocates from the right and the left issuing manuals and social manifestos to combat what they saw as the erosion of morality and harmony in a family-unfriendly America.
