Self Published Book of Essays Scrutinizes Fatherhood and its Issues
Self Published Book of Essays Scrutinizes Fatherhood and its Issues
One of the most important influences a person can have early on in life and even onwards is the inspiration that comes from a father. This pivotal role is defined mainly by a father-child relationship and most often shapes the future of their offspring.
Fatherhood carries with it a sense of great responsibility and accountability with fathers generally described as naturally protective and supportive to their families. The amount of interaction a father gives to his offspring has been proven to strengthen a child’s social stability, educational achievement and their potential for attaining strong marriages in adulthood. Such is the influence of a father’s love, guidance, presence and involvement.
Sadly, this image of fatherhood has changed in recent years as many men have become less and less accepting of the roles, responsibilities and challenges of being a father. The male parental role has not only become distorted, but has also mutated into the different varieties that we now know them to be. So what is the true face of fatherhood? Where, if ever, can we find the transcendent image of a father?
Self-published author Diane A. Sears answers these questions and more in her book, In Search of Fatherhood – Transcending Boundaries: International Conversations on Fatherhood. This collection of essays, from interviews of a group of men from diverse backgrounds and edited by Sears, explores the questions and issues directly and indirectly related to fatherhood that confront married, single, stay-at-home, long-distance, divorced, custodial, and non-custodial fathers.
Sears also brings focus on the parental roles and responsibilities of fathers, as the concept of fatherhood has been redefined over the years.
“Fatherhood is in crisis in today’s America, especially in the black community,” Dr. Hayward Farrar, a tenured Associate Professor of History at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University who reviewed Sears’ book, observed. “Since the 1960s fathers have been characterized as patriarchal, abusive, irresponsible, and absent. The courts increasingly view fathers as inherently unfit parents good only for a child support check. Tragically far too many fathers live meaningless without a strong family and community structure. Such structures are imperiled today.”
In Search of Fatherhood – Transcending Boundaries also highlights a call for divorced fathers to form a political movement to ensure equity in child custody and child support issues. Stephen Baskerville, in the book’s opening chapter – Father’s Rights are Father’s Duties – explains that fathers cannot secure their god-given rights to their children through individual action. He appeals to fathers to correct this situation through a broad-based movement modeled on the civil rights effort.
In Search of Fatherhood – Transcending Boundaries: International Conversations on Fatherhood, published by Xlibris, is a must-have and must-read handbook on the nuances of modern-day fatherhood and, perhaps, a guide on how men can reclaim their influential role as fathers.
