Primal screams

In reading Mary Eberstadt, a committed pro-life and pro-family author, she argues the present social crisis in western societies have their source in fragmented family relations and loss of faith in God. Eberstadt considers why human sexuality has become so politicised and why a person’s race has turned into politics?

In Eberstad’ts book, Primal Screams: How the Sexual Revolution Created Identity Politics, she examines the role of the family -- and its breakdown -- since the 1960s leading up to what confronts us today: “identity politics.” The sexual revolution led to casual sex with men and women treating each other as objects; lack of fidelity or “serial monogamy,” children confused about their parents, their own sexuality, their identity.

​Eberstadt convincingly argues that “identity” has become radically politicised but can be traced to a deeper conflictual source: lack of family bonding and society disconnected from God.
