Sommario/riassunto

Contributors from diverse backgrounds address the different disciplinary roots of theories of masculinity - sociology, psychoanalysis, ethnography, and inequality studies. Chapters theoretically model many issues central to the study of men - power, ethnicity, feminism, homophobia - or develop theoretical explanations of some of the institutions most closely identified with men including the military and the men's movement.
