Overview
- Fathers, in general, have been underrepresented in the literature; research on Mexican fathers and fathering is emerging and this book will make a powerful contribute to grow this line of research
- Policy is often created from above, with large governing bodies dictating what should happen in families and communities; this book asks us to look at policy that can come from below, directly from the fathers and their families who are the ultimate focus of such policies
- Mexican immigrant fathers remain invisible as fathers—they are either championed as hardworking or demonized as criminals; in this book we hear directly from them about their aspirations and love for their children
