Renny Golden's new book to be released September 15th, 2005 War on Families: Mothers in Prison and the Children They Leave Behind >From the Forward by Barbara Ransby author of Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement: In War on the Family, Renny Golden tackles the volatile rhetoric of family values and turns the conservative use of the term on its head. Focusing on a group of women and children in Chicago and New Mexico whose families have be ravaged by a set of insensitive and punitive social policies, Golden is both policy analyst and storyteller. She astutely critiques the policy assault on poor families that has been waged over the last two decades, by both Democrats and Republicans and then introduces the reader to families directly and personally impacted by those policies. This book presents narratives of mothers and children in their sojourn through the labyrinth of the streets and the state. Renny Golden, a professor of Justice Studies at Northeastern Illinois University for 25 years, is author of the book Disposable Children: America's Child Welfare System, which was nominated for the American Criminological Association's Hindelang Award and Delta Kappa Gamma Society's Educator's Award in 1997. She also wrote The Hour of the Furnaces which was nominated for a National Book Award.
