Description

Natalia Petrzela explores how in the late 1960s and 1970s, a growing number of Americans fused conventional values about family and personal morality with an Anglo jingoism, specifically marrying concerns about sexuality and language and blurring the distinction between public and private. Focusing on Spanish-bilingual and sex education in California, this book charts how during a time of extraordinary social change, grass-roots citizens defined the schoolhouse and family as politicized sites.
