Price on the host's page

This is first book-length study of stay-at-home fathers in mainland China, an emerging and non-conforming gender role that challenges conventional expectations of masculinity, work and caregiving. Drawing on analyses of TV dramas, social media content and in-depth interviews, the book examines the multiple and sometimes contradictory discourses surrounding stay-at-home fatherhood. Through the lens of this seemingly niche group, the book sheds light on broader social transformations in China.
