In Essential Dads, sociologist Jennifer Randles shares the stories of more than 60 marginalized men as they sought to become more engaged parents through a government-supported "responsible" fatherhood program. Dads' experiences serve as a unique window into long-standing controversies about the importance of fathering, its connection to inequality, and the state' s role in shaping men' s parenting. With a compassionate and hopeful voice, Randles proposes a more equitable political agenda for fatherhood, one that carefully considers the social and economic factors shaping men' s abilities to be involved in their children' s lives and the ideologies that rationalize the necessity of that involvement.
Jennifer M. Randles is Chair and Associate Professor in the Sociology Department at California State University, Fresno, and author of Proposing Prosperity? Marriage Education Policy and Inequality in America.
