In Search of Fatherhood- Transcending Boundaries: International Conversations on Fatherhood
Synopsis "In Search of Fatherhood- Transcending Boundaries: International Conversations on Fatherhood"
IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD -- TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES is a straight-no chaser exploration of the questions and issues directly and indirectly related to Fatherhood which confront Married Fathers, Single Fathers, Stay-At-Home Fathers, Long-Distance Fathers, Divorced Fathers, Custodial Fathers and Non-Custodial Fathers throughout our global village. Men who are Fathers in the Millennium from all Walks of Life are closely examining their parental roles and responsibilities. They are redefining Fatherhood through the creation of father-friendly legislation and public policies and coalitions that extend beyond geographic borders. They are staging peaceful demonstrations in the streets of the cities of the world in an effort to call attention to their need for greater access to resources and support services. Stephen Baskerville, Ph.D., Muhammad Nasser Bey, Randy L. Collins, Leonard Dantzler, Warren Farrell, Ph.D., Dale Fraza, Thomas R. Golden, LCSW, the late L.T. Henry, Thomas Hoerner, Gary A. Johnson, James Kennedy, Thomas Lessman, Alvin F. Poussaint, M.D., Martin G. Ramey, Almas Jamil Sami and Joep Zander, through articles and interviews, speak from the depths of their souls about the roles and responsibilities of Fathers and the universal search for answers to questions and resolutions of issues directly and indirectly related to parenting from a male perspective which Men who are Fathers in the Millennium have embarked upon. This search for answers to questions and resolution of issues by Men who are Fathers transcends the boundaries of geography, politics, culture, religion, ethnicity, politics and economics.

For one thing, substantial representation is given to men of color. Its authors vary in literary skill though everything it publishes is engaging and easy to follow.
