“A remarkable book in both depth and scope – each chapter written by a truly international expert who has provided insights into caretaking by fathers in diverse contexts. An ‘open access’ publication, Caring Fathers in the Global Context is a ‘must read’ for anyone interested in this important topic with which, as is increasingly acknowledged, both child wellbeing and gender equality are closely intertwined.” Adrienne Burgess, The Fatherhood Institute “Caring Fathers in the Global Context provides a unique and nuanced understanding of fathers’ caring practices, identity work and parenthood. This extensive volume contributes to a well-needed update on global and diverse fatherhood in contemporary times. Combining empirical case studies in different countries, with a reflexive theoretical approach, the volume advances our knowledge of contemporary families and fathers’ caring practices. It presents an excellent contribution to family studies as well as to critical studies on men and masculinities.” Thomas Johansson, University of Gothenburg “An impressively wide-ranging book that provides fascinating new empirical material on fathering practices in many different national contexts. Its focus on the experiences of minoritised fathers is particularly compelling.” Rachel Brooks, University of Oxford
