Fathers, Prisons, and Family Reentry: Presencing as a Framework and
Method asks scholars, policy makers, advocates, and practitioners
to rethink family reentry in a new light, to seek to understand
both the urgent and intolerable loss as well as the real and
present potential of families. There are almost one million parents
of minor-aged children currently serving time in U.S. prisons-most
of them fathers. Based on post-phenomenological analyses, William
Muth offers a new framework for conceptualizing family reentry as a
present phenomenon. It seeks to reveal the intense ways
incarcerated fathers and their families live their present-absence,
and draws on these intensities to define a new role for researchers
and practitioners: nurturing the potential of families in the here
and now. The current situation is intolerable. A credible family
reentry approach is urgently needed. This book is an attempt to
address these families as they potentially are, and might become,
if we would be willing to "meet them half-way," in the words of the
poet Alice Fulton.
