Negative Positive
Title: Good book, can be hard for undergrads...
Review: I have used this book in my 200 level Sociology of Families courses. The students enjoy most of the readings but there are a few that are overly technical and/or assume the student has a background in the topic. Despite these issues, overall I feel it is one of the better families readers on the market now. Chapters are diverse and do not "tokenized" issues like race, class, sexuality, and gender in "special" sections. My students really enjoyed the different perspectives and qualitative studies she chose to include.
Is the review positive or negative?
