Fathers making sense of it all.
520 "The norms and expectations of father involvement have
changed rapidly within one to two generations. Socially
and economically marginalized fathers are being exposed to
these messages through popular culture and the media, in
state welfare, child protection, prisons, and probation
offices, as well as in child support and family courts.
Moreover, they are being told that it is up to them to
make better choices, to get themselves together, and to be
involved fathers. Based on life history interviews with
138 low-income fathers, Black and Keyes show that fathers
have internalized these messages and sound determined.
After all, there is social worth in fatherhood, hope for
creating meaningful lives or new beginnings, the fantasy
of leaving something of value behind in the world, and a
stake in resisting stigmatizing labels like the deadbeat
dad. Most will, however, fall short for several reasons:
first, while the expectations for father involvement were
increasing, state and economic support for low income
families was decreasing; second, vulnerable fathers often
lack viable models to guide them; third, living in
dangerous neighborhoods compromises fatherhood and leaves
fathers at odds with dominant institutional narratives
about being nurturing fathers, and fourth, the dark side
of poverty, inscribed on bodies and minds, leaves some
struggling with childhood traumas and unhealthy routines
to mitigate or numb these painful developmental
disruptions. Consequently, the authors assert that without
transformative economic, political and social change that
would facilitate and support engaged and nurturing
fatherhood, these fathers are being "set-up.""--|cProvided
