'The book provides manifold empirical and ethnographic insights into the ways in which men around the globe think of and enact fatherhood and into how different historical, national, global, societal and cultural conditions shape men’s possibilities of becoming and being fathers. The book convincingly shows that fatherhood is closely related to family life, kinship concerns, marriage, parenthood, partnership, gender identity, sexuality and class.' · Tine Tjørnhøj-Thomsen, University of Southern Denmark'The editors have done an excellent job of uniting an exciting collection of international contributions which collectively illuminate the concept of globalized fatherhood. The proposed ’new vocabulary’ for discussing transformations in fatherhood and masculinity will be of interest to those working on men, gender, infertility, parenting and health in a wide range of disciplines.' · Nicky Hudson, De Montfort University'A strikingly rich analysis of how fatherhood is culturally constructed and enacted across the world. It not only tells us about the intimate sphere of men’s lives as fathers and how they interact with their children, partners, hoped for and lost children, but also how studying fatherhood offers a fascinating window on broader social change across different societies.' · Maria Lohan, Queen’s University BelfastUsing an entirely new conceptual vocabulary through which to understand men’s experiences and expectations at the dawn of the twenty-first century, this path-breaking volume focuses on fatherhood around the globe, including transformations in fathering, fatherhood, and family life. It includes new work by anthropologists, sociologists, and cultural geographers, working in settings from Peru to India to Vietnam. Each chapter suggests that men are responding to globalization as fathers in creative and unprecedented ways, not only in the West, but also in numerous global locations.Marcia C.
