This collection aims to add something new to this expanding field by exploring the dynamic relationship between present and past fatherhoods. The popular understanding of fathers in past generations, as being detached and uninvolved in the lives of their children, can be said to play a significant part in the construction of modern fathering identities, with ideas of "new" fatherhood being played off against notions of historical fathering practices. However, research has begun to show that these popular myths often misremember the past, judging it by current standards and obscuring the diverse nature of fathering practices in the recent and distant past. A genealogical approach is able to critically examine these intergenerational constructions of fatherhood and more positively illuminate the ways in which experiences of fathering and being fathered are passed on between generations. The contributions to this collection use a genealogical approach (broadly defined) to fathering and fatherhood as a way of defamiliarizing accepted narratives and suggesting new ways of thinking about men and their relationships with their children. 517 $aFathers and Forefathers 606 $aFeminism & feminist theory$2bicssc 606 $aHumanities$2bicssc 606 $aSocial interaction$2bicssc 615 7$aFeminism & feminist theory 615 7$aHumanities 615 7$aSocial interaction 700 $aRobb$b Martin$4edt$01158070 702 $aRobb$b Martin$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557286103321 996 $aFathers and Forefathers$93039987 997 $aUNINA
