Yes, it's Superdad—the most involved fathers in  American history.  And with this careful, compassionate and also  critical group portrait, Gayle Kaufman has finally told their story.  If  you think men aren't changing—or if you think they somehow get neutered  if they are changing—you need to read this book.”—Michael Kimmel,  author of Guyland \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn an age when fathers are spending more time with  their children than at any other point in the past, men are also facing  unprecedented levels of work-family conflict. How do fathers balance  their two most important roles—that of father and that of worker? In Superdads,  Gayle Kaufman captures the real voices of fathers themselves as they  talk about their struggles with balancing work and family life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough  in-depth interviews with a diverse group of men, Kaufman introduces the  concept of “superdads”, a group of fathers who stand out by making  significant changes to their work lives in order to accommodate their  families. They are nothing like their fathers, “old dads” who focus on  their traditional role as breadwinner, or even some of their peers,  so-called “new dads” who work around the increasing demands of their  paternal roles without really bucking the system.  In taking their  family life in a completely new direction, these superdads challenge the  way we think about long-held assumptions about men’s role in the family  unit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThought-provoking and heartfelt, Superdads  provides an overview of an emerging trend in fatherhood and the policy  solutions that may help support its growth, pointing the way toward a  future society with a more feasible approach to the work-family divide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gayle Kaufman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48272945086715,"sku":"9780814749159","price":107.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_e50710d8-2496-429c-9a63-224518bed4b0.jpg?v=1770997395","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/superdads-9780814749159","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
