The third edition of this work on family law comprising text cases & materials provides not only an explication of legal principle but also explores primarily from a feminist perspective some of the assumptions about & constructions of gender sexual orientation class & culture that underlie the law. It examines the ideology of the family & in particular the role of the law in contributing to & reproducing that ideology. Structured around the themes of welfare equality & family privacy the book aims to offer the benefits of a textbook while also giving students a wide-ranging set of materials for classroom discussion. As well as providing a firm grounding in family law the text sets the law in its social & historical context & encourages a critical approach by students to the subject. It provides an ideal introduction to family law for undergraduates but will be equally helpful for postgraduate students of family law for whom it provides a challenging selection of materials set within a theoretical framework rich in ideas & arguments. Review of second edition: Diduck & Kaganas examine legal developments to shed light on society principally by investigating the ways in which family law constructs & regulates family life & responsibilities. Theirs is an important & ambitious book that aims ultimately at a feminist restatement of family law...[T]he [book] is written & referenced in such depth that it is a useful resource for legal as well as social science researchers at all levels whether looking for theoretical inspiration or drawing up a literature review. The range of diverse sources that Diduck & Kaganas draw on is impressive: they seem to have included every bit of material that helps feminists make sense of family law. There is a well-pitched selection of further reading of such material at the end of each chapter. Whats more they undersell themselves by describing their book as Text Cases & Materials" because they have woven by far the largest proportion of the cases & materials into the text.
