In The War against Parents, two different parents from diverse backgrounds a female economist from Wales and an African American religious studies professor from inner city America come together to assay what they describe as the world s antagonism toward parenting. Analyzing the trends that have led to this shift of balance, from changing political and economic forces to the rise of television and divorce, they call for a Parents' Bill of Rights to restore the dignity of the parental role and our nation's commitment to the well-being of children.
