Family Man illustrates the ways in which everyday practices help to construct masculine identities.

Recenzii

Coltrane...does an admirable job of weaving interview segments into the text to lend humanity and give life to his arguement....Coltrane also does an excellent job of showing empirically that there is a correlation between father involvement and women's power....A strong addition to the literature.
Coltrane argues that men are providing a way out of the work-family crunch by stepping up their involvement in homemaking and parenting....Coltrane's insight that modern, highly involved fathers and child-centered parenting styles are part of a long-term cultural shift in ideas about children is important.
Fatherhood in America has evolved for the better. But there is plenty of room for improvement....Coltrane and other new fatherhood advocates remain optimistic. After all, they point out, fatherhood has already undergone massive changes. And it will almost certainly continue to evolve.
Coltrane has produced an engagingly written and well-documented study.
One of the most readable works I've encountered on how gender roles shape our parenting and career decisions... and how today's changing economic and social landscape is re-writing those roles. Highly recommended.
Coltrane's clearly written account of his research and the literature on parenting...is certainly engrossing. The representations of various paternal voices should finally put to rest the view that men, on the whole, are unwilling or incapable of doing the full range of parental work. As Coltrane documents, men can come to think and act like nurturing fathers by doing a nurturant father's work....[This is a] good, strong book, not least because of [its] combative, qualified optimism.
