Implications; Appendix 1; Appendix 2; Notes; References; IndexIn this important new work, Nicholas Townsend explores what men say about being fathers, and about what fatherhood means to them. He shows how men negotiate the prevailing cultural values about fatherhood, marriage, employment, and home ownership that he conceptualizes as a ""package deal."" Townsend identifies the conflicts and contradictions within the gendered expectations of men and fathers, and analyzes the social and economic contexts that make emotionally involved fathering an elusive ideal.Drawing on the lives and life stories of a group of men in their late forties who graduated from FatherhoodFatherhood -- United StatesFathersMen -- United StatesMiddle aged menSex role -- United StatesGender & Ethnic StudiesHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCGender Studies & SexualityHILCCElectronic books.Fatherhood.Fatherhood -- United States.Fathers.Men -- United States.Middle aged men.Sex role -- United States.Gender & Ethnic StudiesSocial SciencesGender Studies & Sexuality305.31/0973306.87420973Townsend Nicholas982980AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910459359003321Package Deal2243441UNINA
