Claudia Roesch offers a study of Mexican American families and evolving notions of masculinity and motherhood in the context of American family history. The book focuses both on the negotiation of family norms in social expert studies and on measures taken by social workers and civil-rights activists for families. The work fills gaps in research regarding the history of the American family in the 20th century, the history of Mexican Americans, and the history of social sciences. Taking a long-term perspective from the first wave of Mexican mass immigration in the 1910's and 1920's until the new social movements of the 1970's, the study takes into account influences of the Americanization and eugenics movements, modernization theory, psychoanalysis, and the Chicano civil-rights movement. Thus, Claudia Roesch offers important new findings on the nexus between the scientization of social work and changing family values in the age of modernity. Sowohl in Mexiko als auch in den USA galt im 20. Jahrhundert die Familie als die Basis der Gesellschaft. Idealvorstellungen von Familie unterschieden sich jedoch fundamental. Claudia Roeschs Monographie untersucht mexikanisch-stämmigen Familien und den Wandel von Männlichkeits- und Mutterschaftsnormen im Kontext der amerikanischen Familiengeschichte. Der Fokus liegt auf der Verhandlung von Familiennormen in Sozialexpertenstudien, sowie Maßnahmen von Sozialarbeitern und Bürgerrechtsaktivisten für Familien. Das Buch schließt Forschungslücken in der Geschichte der amerikanischen Familie im 20. Jahrhundert, der Forschung zur Geschichte der Mexican Americans und der Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Sozialwissenschaften. Es schlägt einen Bogen von der ersten Welle mexikanischer Masseneinwanderung der 1910er und 1920er Jahre zu den Neuen Sozialen Bewegungen der 1970er Jahre. In einer Langzeitperspektive werden Einflüsse der Amerikanisierungs- und der Eugenikbewegung, der Modernisierungstheorie, der Psychoanalyse und der Chicano Bürgerrechtsbewegungen in den Blick genommen. So bietet das Buch wichtige neue Erkenntnisse über das Verhältnis von der Verwissenschaftlichung sozialer Arbeit und Familienwerten im Wandel im Zeitalter der Moderne.

The third issue of the yearbook History of Intellectual Culture (HIC) devotes a thematic section to experimental spaces for knowledge production. The articles in this section investigate the role of experimental environments as sites for knowledge production during the long nineteenth century, thereby extending the scope beyond the confines of traditional academic institutions such as academies, laboratories, and universities. By focusing on intentional communities, colonial gardens, agricultural colonies, and artistic colonies as experimental spaces, the authors investigate the intertwined social, natural, and aesthetic aspects of environments. An overarching aim is to develop a distinct perspective rooted in the history of knowledge, wherein experiments are conceptualized both as a category employed by the historical actors and as a methodological concept. In addition, the third issue comprises several individual papers covering a wide range of topics, stretching from the U.S. patent system in the 1930s and anti-intellectualism in interwar Britain to the cultural translation of knowledge in the wake of the Holocaust and the circulation of economic knowledge in postwar Sweden. The issue also contains several theoretical, historiographical, and methodological interventions and reflections, including a conversation on decolonizing knowledge in academia and beyond.

Is the family in crisis? Or do crises crystallize in families' lived realities? Families as constitutive units of all social architectures are central to our democracies. In this book, scholars from cultural, gender, and media studies, lawyers, sociologists, and historians discuss how today's rainbow variety of families crosses borders and how cultural texts - films, TV-series, novels, short stories and magazines, from Europe (Germany, Italy, Spain) and the US - (de-)construct, take part in, and mirror family discourses around topics such as father(hood)s, mother(hood)s and parentage, reproductive decisions and adoption, marriage and divorce, poverty and welfare, and the rhetoric of the nuclear family.
