| Summary: | Jennifer Lois's Home Is Where the School Is chronicles the lives of one of the most exalted yet misunderstood groups of women in contemporary U.S. society—homeschooling mothers (HMs). Using in-depth longitudinal interviews, Lois sheds light on the emotional lives of homeschoolers and elucidates a number of core social psychological processes related to stigma, identity, social roles, and emotion management., Although homeschooling is often portrayed, if not understood, as the purview of fundamentalist Christians or religious zealots, Lois's analysis reveals a broader spectrum of participants whose motivations have less to do with religion and more to do with definitions of what it means to be a good mother. |
