{"product_id":"9781137441850","title":"Chinese Fatherhood, Gender and Family: Father Mission","description":"This book is about how Chinese men make sense of and practise fatherhood within the context of changing gender conventions and socio-cultural conditions. Liong analyses data from participant observations at a men's centre, focus groups, and in-depth interviews, to assess the subjective experience and identities of Chinese fathers in Hong Kong, from a gender perspective. His findings show that economic provision, education, and marriage are the three \"natural\" and \"normal\" domains of paternity. Not being able to fulfil these requirements is a threat to fathers' masculinity, yet is also an opportunity for fathers to reflect upon these accepted conventions. In order to compensate, these men typically develop a closer and more caring relationship with their children, however these fathers still struggle with feelings of inferiority.","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032700633328,"sku":"9781137441850","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781137441850_p0.jpg?v=1763698729","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781137441850","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
