“It is difficult to imagine embarking on an investigation of men’s sexual, fertility, and parenting practices without consulting this volume. Marsiglio has organized and explored a vast amount of scholarly work with a keen eye for sociological and policy-related relevance. Moreover, he does it with a flair that holds the reader’s interest throughout.”
Frank Furstenberg, University of Pennsylvania
“Marsiglio develops his case for men’s procreative consciousness and responsibility through careful and thorough synthesis of contemporary research and patient and articulate consideration of social theory, leavened with the authenticity of lived experience…a much-needed and well-reasoned consideration of matters of central importance to men and women.”
Greer Litton Fox, President of the National Council on Family Relations and author of The Childbearing Decision
“Virtually all studies of men’s relationship to reproduction focus on only one experience, such as birth control, sexual decision making, abortion, fatherhood, or childbirth. The first book to bring all of these experiences into focus as fragments of a much larger picture, Procreative Man successfully transforms the way in which we view men and procreation.”
Michael S. Kimmel, author of Manhood in America
