Title: Dubious Conceptions: The Politics of Teenage Pregnancy by Kristin Luker ISBN: 0-674-21703-9 Publisher: Harvard Univ Pr Pub. Date: October, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $18.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 5 (3 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Great book
Comment: This book is a very insightful look at "teen" pregnancies and may help destroy many ideas that people have of the "fast" "immature" teen girl pregnant because of her hormonal drive and rebelliousness.
Rating: 5
Summary: Start understanding what's really going on..
Comment: If you're public health professional, a teacher, a social worker, or even a politician, dealing with teen pregnancy at any level, you don't really understand what's going on, unless you've walked the walk, or read Kristin Luker's Dubious Conceptions, Judith Musick's Young, Poor and Pregnant, or Norine Johnson et al's (Eds.) Beyond Appearance: A New Look at Adolescent Girls. If you haven't been in their (adolescent mothers') shoes, but you have the social conscience and sense of social justice to want to help these kids, these three works are, in my view, indispensible reading. If you depend on organizations like The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy for your good ideas, you have really been missing the boat. Come down to earth and discover their real world.
Rating: 5
Summary: Best book about what we call "teen pregnancy"
Comment: Along with Judith Musick's "Young, Poor, and Pregnant," Luker's book is a masterpiece shattering beloved myths on all sides of the utterly phony "teen pregnancy" squabble.
