Anta02 in search of respect; chapter 8. Problem: too many abusive fathers in nuclear households terrorizing kids/moms and women. Public policy attempts to get fathers to stay with baby mamas misguided b/c its not fatherlessness that destroys child"s morals its poverty and abuse. take too long to become single mothers, tolerating abuse. Material basis for fathers failing to support their kids = high school dropouts can"t find secure jobs that would allow them to maintain conjugal households on a single income (tradition patriarchal style). Jibaro identity offers appositionally based sense of dignity & respect. are in flux. Patriarchal order-producing categories of traditional legacy revolves around gender, age, kin. Due to disruptive experiences of prolonged colonial dependency, migration, urbanization & ghettoization. Disruption worsened by material base of street culture specifically entry-level labor market & the underground econ that condemns people to poverty, econ insecurity, high levels of institutional/personal violence.
