A very interesting and eye opening book. I recomend it to whomever is interesting in learning how society and family has changed over the past few centuries. It helps a lot in shaping a very critical way of thinking about the present and future as well.

Our whole society may be obsessed with "family values," but, as historian John Gillis points out in this entertaining and eye-opening narrative, most of our images of "home sweet home" are of very recent vintage. In fact, our most cherished family rituals (Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, white weddings, reunions, Father's Day, and Mother's Day) didn't even exist until the Victorian era.
A World of Their Own Making questions our idealized notion of "The Family," a mind-set in which myth and symbol still hold sway. As the families we live with become more fragile, the symbolic families we live by become more powerful. Yet it is only by accepting the notion that our rituals, myths, and images must be open to perpetual revision that we can satisfy our human needs and changing circumstances. Our families are worlds of our own making. By using the past to throw light on the present, Gillis empowers us to enjoy and accept responsibility for our own creations.

5つ星のうち3.0 Interesting, at times an effort to keep going
Amazonで購入This book often reads like a textbook and goes into a great deal of detail, which can be trying, and I found myself skipping entire sections by the time I got to the last few chapters. Meanwhile, the author seems to be pulling together information from so many sources that he can't feasibly explain throughout his writing where his statements are coming from -- instead, they're simply stated and endnoted, which left me repeatedly skeptical of how solidly he had founded his theories, or even what could be counted as theory vs. fact. Then again, I find myself repeatedly referencing information that I learned in this book in my everyday life, since it does very clearly make the point that our conceptions of what family *should* be are startlingly recent constructions, as are our conceptions of what family *used* to be. I'm not entirely convinced, though, that it successfully synthesizes all of this research into the grand theory that I think the author's striving for. Either way, though, the book is eye-opening.
A nifty aside: in reading the book on the train platform, the picture of Santa Claus on the cover caused a boy in a stroller next to me to spontaneously start singing Christmas carols in the middle of May. I'm pretty sure his mom had no idea what was going on.

5つ星のうち4.0 Helpful book
Amazonで購入This book really helped me compare the ideal family today to the ways families were centuries ago. There is a lot of abstract talk about family and religion, but there are also hard facts in this book. Quite interesting!
