This book is about how Chinese men make sense of and practise
fatherhood within the context of changing gender conventions and
socio-cultural conditions. Liong analyses data from participant
observations at a men's centre, focus groups, and in-depth
interviews, to assess the subjective experience and identities of
Chinese fathers in Hong Kong, from a gender perspective. His
findings show that economic provision, education, and marriage are
the three "natural" and "normal" domains of paternity. Not being
able to fulfil these requirements is a threat to fathers'
masculinity, yet is also an opportunity for fathers to reflect upon
these accepted conventions. In order to compensate, these men
typically develop a closer and more caring relationship with their
children, however these fathers still struggle with feelings of
inferiority.
