      title = {The new politics of fatherhood : men's movements and  masculinities /},
      abstract = {This book makes a unique contribution to contemporary  research into masculinities, mens movements, and fathers  rights groups. It examines the role of changing  masculinities in creating equality and/or reinforcing  inequality by analysing diverse mens movements, their  politics, and the identities they (re)construct. Jordan  advances a typology for categorising mens movements  ('feminist', 'postfeminist', and 'backlash movements) and  addresses debates over the construction of  'masculinity-in-crisis, arguing that 'crisis is frequently  invoked in problematic ways. These themes are further  explored through original analyses of material produced by  'feminist, 'postfeminist, and 'backlash mens groups. The  main empirical contribution of the book draws on interviews  with fathers rights activists to explore the (gendered)  implications of the 'new politics of fatherhood. The  nuanced examination of fathers rights perspectives reveals  multiple, complex narratives of masculinity, fatherhood,  and gender politics. The cumulative effect of these is, at  best, postfeminist and depoliticising, and, at worst,  another vitriolic 'backlash. The New Politics of Fatherhood  expands scholarly understandings of gender, masculinities,  and social movements in the under-researched UK context,  and will appeal to readers with interests in these areas.},
