Doing the best I can : fatherhood in the inner city / Kathryn Edin and Timothy J. Nelson. by Edin, Kathryn,, Nelson, Timothy Jon. Berkeley : University of California Press, ©2013. Description:  x, 284 pages, [16] pages of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm Contents:  One thing leads to another -- Thank you, Jesus -- The stupid shit -- Ward Cleaver -- Sesame Street mornings -- Fight or flight -- Try, try again -- The new package deal. Summary:  Across the political spectrum, unwed fatherhood is denounced as one of the leading social problems of today. Doing the Best I Can is a strikingly rich, paradigm-shifting look at fatherhood among inner-city men often dismissed as "deadbeat dads." Kathryn Edin and Timothy J. Nelson examine how couples in challenging straits come together and get pregnant so quickly-without planning. The authors chronicle the high hopes for forging lasting family bonds that pregnancy inspires, and pinpoint the fatal flaws that often lead to the relationship's demise. They offer keen insight into a radical redefinition of family life, where ties between parents are peripheral and the father-child bond is central.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 362.82 Edi 2013 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
