Contextualizing Family Communication in South Africa
Father care beyond the family household, South Africa

Contributing to this burgeoning literature, two qualitative studies conducted in South Africa. The first study focused on 34 young women, between the ages of 18 and 25 years, who were raised in households where their biological fathers did not resid…

Exploring the Ties of Incarcerated Fathers with Their Families and Communities in the Western Cape—The Perspectives of Care Professionals
It is often argued that incarcerated men who stay connected with their families are less likely to reoffend. Despite the growing literature on non-residential fatherhood in South Africa, little research has been conducted on incarcerated men in South Africa. In this article, we draw on the expertise and perspectives of three research participants who used to work closely, as care professionals, with incarcerated men in the Western Cape. By drawin…

Like a bridge over troubled landscapes
This article is based on the journeys of four women who completed their doctorates in the discipline of Sociology. The four former doctoral students studied at the same distance education institution in South Africa, but they hail from Nigeria, Lesotho and Cameroon, respectively. Together with their former supervisor, autoethnography is used to reflect on their academic journeys. In addition to their academic journeys, they also had to navigate p…
Care, Family Policy and Social Citizenship in South Africa
All people are in need of care at some point in their life. Although families and kin used to provide care in all societies, the division between family and work life have led to new care arrangements. In today's societies not only families but also the state, the market and nonprofit organisations are involved in care. The internal dynamics between these sectors are explained in certain welfare literature as a "care diamond" where local conditio…
Family policy for all South African families
The ‘White Paper of Families in South Africa’ is critically analysed in this article. It is shown that although family diversity is acknowledged in the aforementioned document, certain implications of the document undermine such professed diversity, not all caretakers of children are acknowledged and supported, and financially vulnerable families are not strengthened. Instead, narrow ideals of family life are at times promoted, suggesting middle-…

Mothers in Cameroonian Prisons
According to the Cameroonian Penal Code, pregnant women, nursing mothers and children may not be admitted to prison and, by implication, there are no facilities to cater for these vulnerable categories of prisoners. Yet pregnant women are arrested occasionally and they deliver children in prison and some women are sentenced as nursing mothers. There is an implicit belief and practice that women are the primary caretakers of children – hence their…
Exploring gender and race amongst female sociologists exiting academia in South Africa
This article explores issues of gender and race in the academic careers of female sociologists in South Africa by focusing on selected women who left academic departments in higher education institutions. In-depth interviews were conducted with 11 participants who left various Sociology departments at different times. It was found that young black female academics dwelled on issues of race in their careers, but paid scant attention to gender. Old…

It was found that research participants entered sociology as postgraduate students by chance, being influenced by sociology lecturers and/or because of an interest in the subject. After being appointed in academic positions, some experienced a lack of suppor…

My children, your children, our children? Fathers, female partners and household structures
The nature of father-child relationships is considered here by focusing on the influence of household structures and current partners on such relationships—especially if children were born from different sexual relationships. The main concern of this article is to examine how men see their fathering roles in different household contexts, such as when they live with the mother of their children, when they do not live with the mother(s) of their bi…
