Recenzje

Black and Keyes present a well-researched, qualitative study examining the experiences of fatherhood among 138 marginalized men in Connecticut ... The authors thus disrupt the hegemonic discourse surrounding fathers as "sole provider[s]," which has permeated public policies and perceptions of fatherhood. They present a fuller picture of the socioeconomic factors shaping fatherhood, which demands a reconceptualization of the idea today.
