Undercurrents of Divorce
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-19711-7 (ISBN)
Published in 1999. Despite considerable comment about divorce reform and the post-divorce family, in the press and in academia, by professionals and politicians, much has been left unsaid. There are 'undercurrents' of divorce which are not visible and are not discussed because they do not fit into the dominant discursive framework for talk about divorce. This book brings these undercurrents to the surface and does two things. It explains how and why aspects of divorce and the lives of those divorcing, have become marginalized in professional and political discussion and it makes visible the practical and legal effects of such exclusion. It argues that there are good policy reasons for this particular socio-legal critique at this time, as the implementation of the Family Law Act 1996 gets underway.
Shelley Day Sclater is a Senior Lecturer in Psychological Studies at the University of East London. Christine Piper is a Senior Lecturer in the Law Department at Brunel University.
