Voices of African-American Teen Fathers is an insightful look at adolescent pregnancy and parenthood through the eyes of fathers aged 14 to 19. This unique book features candid interviews with thirty teens who talk about doing what I got to dohandling their responsibilities as best they can given their perceptions, limitations, and life experiences. Teens talk about how and why they became fathers, how they handle being a parent, their perceptions of fatherhood, the relationships they have with their parents and the mothers of their children, and how they deal with the everyday struggles, demands, and concerns they face.
Nearly one million girls between the ages of 15 and 19 become pregnant each year in the United States and most of the available research on adolescent parenthood focused on them. We know little about African-American adolescent fathers or about their perspectives on the cultural and socioeconomic conditions that define their experience. Voices of African-American Teen Fathers provides an understanding of these young fathers on their own terms and suggests theoretical frameworks, assessment tools, and effective interventions to develop a plan of action to help African-American adolescent fathers fulfill their roles. Helpful appendixes, including an interview guide and biographies of the particpants, are included, as are six tables that make complex information easy to access and understand.

CONTENTS
Preface
Despite the proliferation of literature on adolescent pregnancy and parenthood, most research has focused on teen mothers. Information gathered on teen mothers is not necessarily applicable to adolescent fathers because of the different factors that influence their parental behavior and experiences. The purpose of this study is to provide insight into and understanding of the experiences of African-American teen fathers. Because the voices of young African-American male parents are not adequately represented in the discourse of social science literature and social policy, this book provides an account of their experiences and examines the social context in which their experiences occurred. First, the factors that influenced their fatherhood status were examined. Second, how fatherhood was conceptualized and practiced by the adolescent fathers was explored. Third, how the fathers relationships with significant others, including parents, the mothers of their children, and their friends, impacted their fathering beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors were studied. Finally, the concerns and challenges the fathers faced were determined. Although the study confirmed some of the literature on this subpopulation, many interesting and surprising results occurred. Using social ecology and gender theory, understanding and insight into the young mens fatherhood experiences is provided. The final chapter provides policy implications and practical steps in dealing with these findings.
Acknowledgments
This book would not have been possible without the participation of the teen fathers. Allowing me to share their lives with others was selfless and generous. I extend my deepest, sincerest thanks to them for their contributions, and I wish them the best.
Acknowledgment is also granted to my former dissertation co-chairs, Drs. Kathryn M. Feltey and Ellen K. Scott, who provided invaluable assistance and support in conducting and writing this study. I could not have made it without their expertise and endless hours of support, compassion, and patience. Their continued commitment led to the culmination of this work.
Gratitude is also given to my husband, Samuel A. Paschal Jr., for his love, patience, and understanding during my undertaking of this project. He is the epitome of a supportive and caring partner. I cannot thank him enough for calming me through the storms and for his timely advice for this study. I likewise thank my parents, Walter and Barbara Sanders, and my siblings, Walter Jr., Lorinda, and Rosaline, who have always encouraged me and whose faith in my abilities has led me to this path. During moments of doubt they never stop believing in me.
