"I am grateful to William Marsiglio for having done this book. . .
The bibliography alone, wonderfully interdisciplinary, including
some classics but brought right up to date, makes the book
indispensible. Want to know what is known about men and birth
control, men and childbirth, men and abortion? This is the place to
begin your research."
--"American Journal of Sociology"
In what ways do men think about and express themselves as
procreative beings? Under what circumstances do they develop
paternal identities? What is their involvement with partners during
the pregnancy and delivery process, and how do they feel about
it?
In Procreative Man, William Marsiglio addresses these and other
timely questions with an eye toward the past, present, and future.
Drawing upon writings ranging from sociology to biomedicine,
Marsiglio develops a novel framework for exploring men's
multifaceted and gendered experiences as procreative beings.
Addressing such issues as how men feel about their limited role in
the abortion decision and process, how important genetic ties are
for men who want to be fathers, and men's reactions to infertility,
Marsiglio shows how men's roles in creating and fathering human
life is embedded within a rapidly changing cultural and
sociopolitical environment.
The most comprehensive analysis of men and procreation, this
theoretically informed work challenges us to expand our vision of
fatherhood.
