Award-winning historian Self is the first to recognize that the many separate threads of a great political realignment--from civil rights to women\'s rights, from the antiwar movement to the silent majority, from the abortion wars to gay marriage, from health care to welfare reform--all run through the politicized modern American family.

Yet the establishment of new rights and the visibility of alternative families provoked, beginning in the 1970s, a furious conservative backlash. Politicians and activists on the right, most notably George Wallace, Phyllis Schlafly, Anita Bryant, and Jerry Falwell, built a political movement based on the perceived moral threat to the traditional family. Self writes that family values conservatives in fact paved the way for fiscal conservatives, who shared a belief in liberalism\'s invasiveness but lacked a populist message. Reagan\'s presidency united the two constituencies, which remain, even in these tumultuous times, the base of the Republica
