Examining both the public and private aspects of gender formation, Summers challenges the current trajectory of masculinity studies by treating black men as historical agents in their own identity formation, rather than as screens on which white men projected their own racial and gender anxietiesGender & American culture.African American menSocial conditions20th centuryImmigrantsUnited StatesSocial conditions20th centuryMenUnited StatesIdentityHistory20th centuryMasculinityUnited StatesHistory20th centurySex roleUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMiddle classUnited StatesHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansSocial conditionsTo 1964United StatesRace relationsUnited StatesSocial conditions20th centuryAfrican American menSocial conditionsImmigrantsSocial conditionsMenIdentityHistoryMasculinityHistorySex roleHistoryMiddle classHistoryAfrican AmericansSocial conditions305.38/896073/009041Summers Martin Anthony1465223MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777410103321Manliness and its discontents3675120UNINA
