abstract: 'In this article, the authors examine how low-income Black men in South
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Africa and the United States work with their kin to secure fathering and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ensure the well-being of children. They use ethnographic and life
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
history data on men who fathered children from 1992 to 2005 to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
demonstrate how fathers'' roles as kin workers enable them to meet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
culturally defined criteria for responsible fatherhood in two contexts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
marked by legacies of racism, increasing rates of incarceration and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HIV/AIDS, and a web of interlocking inequalities that effectively
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
precludes them from accessing employment with good wages. Using a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comparative framework based on kin work, the authors identify three
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
common processes in both contexts-negotiation between maternal and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paternal kin, pedifocal approach, and flexible fathering-that enable men
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and their kin networks to secure father involvement in economically
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
marginalized communities. The article concludes with a discussion of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy implications of the findings.'
