Each volume offers a wide range of opinion essays and editorials, speeches, and journal articles and expert analysis. This volume tracks the changing national views on gender roles. Historian at-large Micah Issitt traces the path of gender politics in American society, with each chapter providing insightful commentary on a selected primary source.

As forces compete to move the needle of popular thought on this issue, readers will see the push and pull tension between traditional and modern definitions of prescribed gender roles. Issues discussed include historic patterns of gender balance, religion's role in community organization, feminism's impact on defining gender roles for men and women at home and in the workplace, family-centered social policy, the backlash against progressive gender politics, the gender pay parity movement, and the passionate activism of #metoo as a response to corporate and government workplace sexual harassment.

The immigrant experience stands at a dynamic intersection of transition and change. Questions regarding acclimation and assimilation are often at the fore, especially when contrasting cultures confront one another on matters of gender and parenting, and when parents and children face new expectations of themselves, each other, and their new home. Gender Roles in Immigrant Families examines the complex societal, generational, and individual processes involved in constructing gender, ethnicity, and identity as families adapt to new cultural surroundings. The experiences of immigrant mothers, fathers, children, and youth provide readers with insights into coparenting, language brokering, power and responsibilities in families, and gendered aspects of development. Situations as varied as Turkish immigrants in Belgium and Mexicans in the U.S. highlight not only similarities and differences between cultures, but also the continuing flexibility and fluidity of human behavior. Among the studies featured: A critical exploration of Chinese fathers in Canada and China. Fathers' and mothers' perceptions of their children's psychosocial behaviors in Mexican immigrant families. Social support in the lives of Sudanese refugee and Russian immigrant fathers in Canada. Gendered conceptions of ethnicity: Latino children in middle childhood. Gender and developmental pathways of acculturation and adaptation in immigrant adolescents. Past advances and future directions in research and policy. An in-depth exploration of an often-overlooked area for research, Gender Roles in Immigrant Families will provide family and developmental psychologists, social workers, sociologists, and policymakers a greater understanding of gender in the social identity.

ARTICLE USES DISCRIMINANT ANALYSIS TO ASSESS SEX & PARTY DIFFERENCES ACROSS 4 ASPECTS OF PARTY ORGANIZATION. RESULTS ILLUSTRATE THAT GENDER ROLES OPERATE MOST DISTINCTLY IN THE AREAS OF ELECTORAL AMBITION & PARTY ACTIVITIES. THE AUTHORS CONCLUDE THAT PARTY ACTIVISTS' GENDER-RELATED BEHAVIOR CAN BE BETTER UNDERSTOOD BY DISCOVERING HOW THE CONTEXT OF PARTY ORG. EITHER MODIFIES OR REINFORCES SUCH BEHAVIOR.

This article uses discriminant analysis to assess sex and party differences across four aspects of party organization: incentives for participation, party role definitions, party activities and electoral ambition. The results illustrate that gender roles operate most distinctly in the two areas of electoral ambition and party activities. Party context is more important than sex in terms of the other two areas, party role definitions and incentives for participation. The authors conclude that party activists' gender-related behavior can be better understood by discovering how the context of party organization either modifies or reinforces such behavior.

This book makes use of new conceptual and methodological tools to place gender at the forefront of research on the lives of immigrant families, investigating the impact of its interplay with parental roles, parent-child relationships and child outcomes.
