Shifting marriage and divorce patterns, transformation in the
workplace, the growth of the women's movement and the development
of the men's movement, all these social and cultural changes have
changed fathers' traditional family roles and forced a
reexamination of how fathers and children interact. Progress in
this new understanding of fathers is highlighted in Fatherhood, a
volume of empirical and theoretical research on fathers in
families. The research pieces, written by such well-known scholars
as Furstenberg, Seltzer, and Greif, examine differences in culture,
class, nationality, and custodial status. The chapters focus on
legal, economic, and policy questions, as well as on the
interaction between fathers and children within the family. Some of
the topics explored are fathers' involvement in child care,
fathering in the inner city, and single fathers who have custody of
their children. Fatherhood is the most current assessment of our
research base on fatherhood available for professional, scholarly,
and classroom use and is important reading for those interested in
men's studies, family studies, gender studies, sociology,
psychology, and social work.
