The second edition of Andrea Doucet's Do Men Mother? builds upon
the award winning first edition to further illuminate fathers'
candid reflections on caring and the intricate social worlds that
men and women inhabit as they 'love and let go' of their children.
Including interviews with over one hundred fathers - from truck
drivers to insurance salesmen, physicians to artists - Doucet
illustrates how men are breaking the mould of traditional parenting
models. This edition expands her argument wider and deeper,
building on changes to the theoretical work that informs the field,
her own intellectual trajectory, and the fieldwork of revisiting
six fathers and their partners a decade after her initial
interviews. She continues to examine key questions such as: What
leads fathers to trade earning for caring? How do fathers navigate
through the 'maternal worlds' of mothers and infants? Are men
mothering or are they redefining fatherhood? In asking and
unravelling the question 'Do men mother?' this study tells a
compelling story about Canadian parents radically re-envisioning
child care and domestic responsibilities in the twenty-first
century.
