The expectation for fathers to be more involved with parenting
their children and pitching in at home are higher than ever, yet
broad social, political, and economic changes have made it more
difficult for low-income men to be fathers. In It's a Setup,
Timothy Black and Sky Keyes ground a moving and intimate narrative
in the political and economic circumstances that shape the lives of
low-income fathers. Based on 138 life history interviews, they
expose the contradiction that while the norms and expectations of
father involvement have changed rapidly within a generation, labor
force and state support for fathering on the margins has
deteriorated. Tracking these life histories, they move us through
the lived experiences of job precarity, welfare cuts, punitive
child support courts, public housing neglect, and the
criminalization of poverty to demonstrate that without
transformative systemic change, individual determination is not
enough. Fathers on the social and economic margins are setup to
fail.
