Men, Families, and Poverty cover

In Men, Families, and Poverty, authors Hughes and Tarrant explore the complex relationship between men's experiences of family life and poverty over a twenty-year period. Through qualitative secondary analysis of four interconnected datasets, they highlight the significant insights that can be gained from examining men's narratives regarding family dynamics and economic hardship. The authors emphasize the importance of understanding these experiences across the lifecourse, shedding light on how men's roles within families evolve in the context of poverty.

The book introduces a new framework for analyzing the intergenerational and longitudinal dynamics of men's participation in family life, particularly in low-income settings. By addressing the noticeable gap in existing literature and policy regarding men in low-income families, Hughes and Tarrant delve into the interconnectedness of poverty, family, and geographic location. They focus on the specific trajectories of men as they navigate the challenges of family poverty, providing a more nuanced understanding of their experiences and contributions.

Ultimately, Men, Families, and Poverty aims to establish a more comprehensive sociology of family poverty. By developing a theoretical framework that considers the dynamic and place-based nature of poverty, the authors offer valuable insights into the implications for families facing economic hardship. This work not only enriches the academic discourse on family poverty but also has the potential to inform policy and practice aimed at supporting men and families in low-income circumstances.
