From the preeminentscholar on Black masculinity in America, Save a Seat for Me is Mark Anthony Neal’s attempt to bring his scholarship on fatherhood to a broader audience.

Save a Seat for Me embraces the nuances of how contemporary frameworks of masculinity informed by unprecedented advances in women and LGBTQ communities have necessitated a reimagining of the societal expectations a father plays in the public and private sectors of their homes.
