Böcker av Katarzyna Suwada

The open access book provides a critical account of parenthood in Polish society. The author distinguishes between different kinds of work done in connection to parenthood and shows how the existing institutional system reinforces gender and other forms of social inequalities even in a post-communist state like Poland.

This book provides an account of fatherhood and changing parental roles in Sweden and Poland. Fathering, the author argues, is a social phenomenon grounded in cultural patterns of parenting, gender roles and models of masculinity, and also shaped by family policy.
