Despite growing recognition of fathers' involvement in family life, dominant narratives still marginalise men's caring roles. Caring Fathers in the Global Context addresses a pressing gap in our shared understanding: how care is practised and experienced by men across diverse cultural, social and policy settings.
Drawing on wide-ranging, international research, this timely edited collection offers a rich, comparative exploration of how men become 'caring fathers' and the pathways leading to this. It connects fatherhood studies with care scholarship to provide new theoretical and empirical insights into how care is shared, negotiated and made meaningful in everyday life.
A vital and interdisciplinary resource for anyone studying families and social change, this book invites readers to rethink care, masculinity and intergenerational relationships in a rapidly changing world.
