Aasha M. Abdill draws on fieldwork in Bedford-Stuyvesant to dispel stereotypes of black men as deadbeat dads. She presents qualitative and quantitative evidence of black fathers' presence and shows how supporting black men in their quest to be—and be seen as—family men is key to securing not only their children's well-being but also their own.
