Finalist for the National Jewish Book AwardThe concepts of gender, love, and familyâas well as the personal choices regarding gender-role construction, sexual and romantic liaisons, and family formationâhave become more fluid under a society-wide softening of boundaries, hierarchies, and protocols.Sylvia Barack Fishman gathers the work of social historians and legal scholars who study transformations in the intimate realms of partnering and family construction among Jews. Following a substantive introduction, the volume casts a broad net. Chapters explore the current situation in both the United States and Israel, attending to what once were considered unconventional household arrangementsâincluding extended singlehood, cohabitating couples, single Jewish mothers, and GLBTQ familiesâalong with the legal ramifications and religious backlash. Together, these essays demonstrate how changes in the understanding of male and female roles and expectations over the past few decades have contributed to a social revolution with profoundâand paradoxicalâeffects on partnering, marriage, and family formation. This diverse anthologyâwith chapters focusing on demography, ethnography, and legal textsâwill interest scholars and students in Jewish studies, womenâs and gender studies, Israel studies, and American Jewish history, sociology, and culture.
