Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men's Pathways to Parenthood deals with the neglected topic of men's roles in decisions about having children. It contributes significantly to building a knowledge base around the intricacies and complexities (including the silences) associated with male parenthood and decision-making in the South African context and beyond. In this book the authors present a nuanced and compelling analysis that highlights the roles of changing gender norms, whiteness, and heteronormativity in shaping their research participants' accounts. The book presents valuable findings that will be relevant to researchers and practitioners studying families and reproduction outside of hetero-patriarchal norms.
