Conclusion: Trajectories of Families through Poverty Summary This book develops a new sociology of the intergenerational and longitudinal dynamics of mens family participation in relation to their trajectories through poverty. By addressing the ostensible absence of men from low-income families in existing literature and policy, the authors interrogate the interconnectedness of poverty, family, and place while paying explicit attention to the trajectories of men through and across low-income families and localities. Through qualitative secondary analysis of four linked datasets from research within low-income families over a twenty-year period, Hughes and Tarrant argue that there is much to be gained from examining both mens accounts of family and poverty across the lifecourse and the accounts of men experiencing family poverty. In so doing, they develop a new theoretical family lifecourse framework that accounts for the dynamic and place-based character of poverty and its implication for families. Thus, the book foregrounds the development of a more comprehensive sociology of family poverty Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on May 02, 2023) Subject Families -- Economic aspects -- Longitudinal studies Poor men -- Family relationships Poor families.
