What unfolds in these pages is the story of Project Fatherhood and its members as they meet every Wednesday night in Watts- the epicenter of violence in Los Angeles. The struggles the book illuminates are heartbreaking, infuriating and hilarious. Over time, the fathers both support and argue with one another about the best strategies for raising children and dealing with "significant others." Their family relationships are freighted with joy and uncertainty. But the story moves into deeper territory as the men confront long-term loss and trauma, the chronic pressure of poverty and the unquenchable desire to somehow do better and provide more for the next generation." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Fatherhood $z Los Angeles. $z Los Angeles. 650 0 $a Father and child $z Los Angeles. $z Los Angeles. 650 0 $a Parenting $z Los Angeles. $z Los Angeles. 650 7 $a FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS / Parenting / Fatherhood. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Men's Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Father and child. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921829 650 7 $a Fatherhood. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921848 650 7 $a Parenting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01053407 651 7 $a California $z Los Angeles. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204540 941 $a 5 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611020725.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220511010037.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210025113.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826113649.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20150813010849.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E894606246D11E5A97E42B6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
