About the Book

IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD -- TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES is a straight-no chaser exploration of the questions and issues directly and indirectly related to Fatherhood which confront Married Fathers, Single Fathers, Stay-At-Home Fathers, Long-Distance Fathers, Divorced Fathers, Custodial Fathers and Non-Custodial Fathers throughout our global village. Men who are Fathers in the Millennium from all Walks of Life are closely examining their parental roles and responsibilities. They are redefining Fatherhood through the creation of father-friendly legislation and public policies and coalitions that extend beyond geographic borders. They are staging peaceful demonstrations in the streets of the cities of the world in an effort to call attention to their need for greater access to resources and support services.

Stephen Baskerville, Ph.D., Muhammad Nasser Bey, Randy L. Collins, Leonard Dantzler, Warren Farrell, Ph.D., Dale Fraza, Thomas R. Golden, LCSW, the late L.T. Henry, Thomas Hoerner, Gary A. Johnson, James Kennedy, Thomas Lessman, Alvin F. Poussaint, M.D., Martin G. Ramey, Almas Jamil Sami and Joep Zander, through articles and interviews, speak from the depths of their souls about the roles and responsibilities of Fathers and the universal search for answers to questions and resolutions of issues directly and indirectly related to parenting from a male perspective which Men who are Fathers in the Millennium have embarked upon. This search for answers to questions and resolution of issues by Men who are Fathers transcends the boundaries of geography, politics, culture, religion, ethnicity, politics and economics.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD(R) -- TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES? HERE ARE A FEW REVIEWS:

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ATTORNEYS FOR CHILDRENS RIGHTS J. STEVEN SVOBODA, ESQUIRE RENDERS FAVORABLE VERDICT FOR FATHERHOOD BOOK

BERKELEY, CA. 19 September 2004 He is the Executive Director and Founder of Attorneys for the Rights of the Child, a Board Member and Public Relations Director of the National Coalition of Free Men and a member of The Mens Center Advisory Council. He is J. Steven Svoboda, Esquire. Svoboda, who recently completed his review of In Search Of Fatherhood -- Transcending Boundaries has rendered a favorable verdict.

Mr. Svoboda had the following things to say about In Search Of Fatherhood -- Transcending Boundaries which is authored by Diane A. Sears, a member of the University Council for Akamai Universitys Fatherhood and Mens Studies Program and the Managing Editor of a quarterly international male parenting journal IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD FORUM FOR AND ABOUT THE FATHERS OF THE WORLD:

BSI International, still a relatively new player in pro-male publishing, has been putting out its IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD Forum For and About the Fathers of the World for well over half a decade. Now BSI has released this fascinating and wide-ranging volume collecting 17 pieces by 16 contributors, all focused in one way or other on the ever-important issue of fatherhood. I personally read it cover to cover on a recent plane flight. Svoboda stated.

BSIs publicationsboth its journal and this book--have a unique flavor. For one thing, substantial representation is given to men of color. Its authors vary in literary skill though everything it publishes is engaging and easy to follow. Some of its articles tend to have a somewhat politically reactionary flavor though despite my own personal largely progressive background, I dont view this as a negative factor, Svoboda continued. At the same time, BSIs style is very male in its sensibility: stories are put out there as the authors see them, with no apologies and no punches pulled. Many of BS
