Thoughtful, well-written articles on ‘radical’ fathering, tackling an array of issues, from colick to children’s questions of identity. While the authors bring their diverse politics to the table, they make a sincere effort to connect those politics to the dynamic reality of raising a child… you’re not getting a tract about how things would ideally be in a utopian future, but how things ARE in this moment, honestly. An article by tomas is a highlight–he writes about his daughter and her negative thoughts about being a mixed-race person of colour, and poses questions to himself about how he can encourage her to value all aspects of her identity yet respect her autonomy to make choices about her identity that may differ from his. A supportive read for all the parents out there meshing parenthood with their politics, and a little window on the wild world of raising another person, for those of us on the outside looking in.
