Abstract
This chapter synthesises national and international interdisciplinary literatures to consider the extent to which men’s relationships and lived experiences in low-income families and contexts have been addressed in academic debates and discussion. This chapter elaborates on the analytic lenses that influence the visibilities of low-income fathers and considers the extent to which academic research and scholarship has obscured knowledge of men’s family lives and identities. Concepts of father absence and presence are interrogated in the context of discussions about fatherhood, which define the current state of debate. In so doing, evidence of the relational and social dimensions of men’s lives in low-income contexts are brought back into analytic visibility.
