Description

Allan C. Carlson's paradigm-shifting analysis examines four distinct cycles of strength and weakness in American family systems across nearly four centuries. This comprehensive study identifies defining characteristics of strong American families, including early and nearly universal marriage, high fertility rates, close parental involvement, complementary gender roles, meaningful intergenerational bonds, and relative stability. Carlson distinguishes the American family model from the weaker European pattern that has persisted since 1700, marked by later marriage ages, larger populations of never-married adults, and different social structures. Published by Routledge as part of the Marriage and Family Studies Series, this volume offers essential historical perspective on how American domestic life has evolved and transformed through distinct historical periods.
