Reviews
“Ana Jordan’s The New Politics of Fatherhood makes an important and erudite contribution to the reappraisal of masculinities in political and social theory, engaging with key contemporary examples of men's activism. This book is a key resource for those interested in masculinities and social movements in theoretical and empirical terms.” (Daniel Conway, University of Westminster, UK)
