`It is a very impressive book. Its coverage of contemporary
discourses of fatherhood is comprehensive. The theoretical stance
is one that allows for complexity and fluidity. The authors write
well, making even esoteric sociological and cultural theory
accessible. I recommend it' - British Journal of Social Work
Constructing Fatherhood provides an analysis of the social,
cultural and symbolic meanings of fatherhood in contemporary
western societies. The authors draw on poststructuralist theory to
analyze the representation of fatherhood in the `expert' literature
of psychology, sociology and the health sciences, and in popular
sources such as television, film, advertisements and child-care and
parenting manuals and magazines. Men's own accounts of first-time
fatherhood are also drawn upon, including four individual case
studies.
