Both of these projects have pushed the conversation around fathering beyond the safe, apolitical focus most books and websites stick to; they have not been complacent but have worked hard to create a diverse, multi-faceted space in which to grapple with the complexity of fathering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eToday more than ever, fatherhood demands constant improvisation, risk, and struggle. With grace and honesty and strength, \u003cem\u003eRad Dad's\u003c\/em\u003e writers tackle all the issues that other parenting guides are afraid to touch: the brutalities, beauties, and politics of the birth experience, the challenges of parenting on an equal basis with mothers, the tests faced by transgendered and gay fathers, the emotions of sperm donation, and parental confrontations with war, violence, racism, and incarceration. \u003cem\u003eRad Dad\u003c\/em\u003e is for every father out in the real world trying to parent in ways that are loving, meaningful, authentic, and ultimately revolutionary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors Include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSteve Almond, Jack Amoureux, Mike Araujo, Mark Andersen, Jeff Chang, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Jeff Conant, Sky Cosby, Jason Denzin, Cory Doctorow, Craig Elliott, Chip Gagnon, Keith Hennessy, David L.
