Augustine Sedgewick is the author of Fatherhood: A History of Love and Power and Coffeeland: A History. He earned his doctorate at Harvard University, and his research on the global history of capitalism, work, food, family and masculinity has received fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the American Antiquarian Society, the Jackman Humanities Institute of the University of Toronto, and the Project on Justice, Welfare, and Economics at Harvard. Originally from Maine, he lives in New York City.
Fathers’ role in upholding the social order and their struggles with unruly sons are probed in this winsome and erudite study of patriarchy . . . Sedgwick teases out the contradictions between patriarchy as a doctrine of benevolent control and its reality as a form of constraint and domination that often breeds resistance. He plays on these ironies in elegant, evocative prose. It’s a fresh and insightful meditation on the paternal dilemma. * Publishers Weekly * Intelligent . . . The author is an undeniably talented prose stylist with estimable dot-connecting abilities. -- Kirkus
