Essential Dads
Author: Jennifer M. Randles
language: en
Publisher: University of California Press
Release Date: 2020-10-13
In Essential Dads, sociologist Jennifer Randles shares the stories of more than 60 marginalized men as they sought to become more engaged parents through a government-supported “responsible” fatherhood program. Dads’ experiences serve as a unique window into long-standing controversies about the importance of fathering, its connection to inequality, and the state’s role in shaping men’s parenting. With a compassionate and hopeful voice, Randles proposes a more equitable political agenda for fatherhood, one that carefully considers the social and economic factors shaping men’s abilities to be involved in their children’s lives and the ideologies that rationalize the necessity of that involvement.

Fatherneed
Arguing that the mother/child bond tells only part of the story of a healthy childhood, a child psychiatrist shows that fathers play an important role in a child's physical, behavioral, and cognitive development.
