This first major compilation of new theoretical work on men begins by presenting ideas borrowed from the disciplines that have fostered the study of masculinities:  sociology, psychoanalysis, ethnography, and inequality. The following chapters explore many issues central to the study of men such as power, ethnicity, feminism, and homophobia. The contributors also provide theoretical explanations of some of the institutions most closely identified with men, such as the military, sports, and the men′s movement. The contributors to this volume come from disciplines as diverse as sociology, political science, industrial relations, philosophy, education, anthropology, gender studies, and literature. Together, they make this benchmark volume the guiding set of theories on masculinities.  Theorizing Masculinities is a comprehensive volume that will appeal to a wide range of students and scholars, especially those interested in gender, sociology, social theory, family studies, counseling, and psychology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50253182861585,"sku":"CIN0803949049A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50361092800785,"sku":"CIN0803949049G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51865128042769,"sku":"GOR003656636","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52402884247825,"sku":"NLS9780803949041","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52816637296913,"sku":"CIN0803949049VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803949049.jpg?v=1750745545"},{"product_id":"men-s-friendships-book-peter-m-nardi-9780803937734","title":"Men's Friendships","description":"Current and much-needed, this book offers an analysis of the social forces which shape the way friendship is organized.

We also know much about female-dominated professions, where pay and prestige are lower than corresponding male professions.  What happens to men doing \"women′s\" jobs?  Doing \"Women′s Work\" represents the first effort to summarize our state of knowledge about the effects of men in \"women′s professions,\" on the men and their views of masculinity, on the occupations, and on the women with whom they work.  Do men get preferential treatment in these positions?  Higher salaries?  Are they treated the same as their female coworkers?  Through a series of statistical and demographic analyses as well as qualitative case studies of men in such professions as teaching, secretarial work, caregiving, and stripping, the authors offer an insightful glimpse of the roles of these men in bolstering or undermining the gendered assumptions of occupational sex segregation in the workplace.  A fascinating yet scholarly study, Doing \"Women′s Work\" will be invaluable reading for students, researchers, and professionals interested in gender studies, work and occupations, human resources, sociology, management, human services, family studies, psychology, and education.  \"The studies lead to a more complex and sophisticated view of occupational segregation. . . .

Editor Lee H. Bowker has carefully chosen essays that shed light on the causes and settings of masculine violence. The three essays in Part I lay out the ways in which men learn violence and repeat it. Part II focuses on the ways men victimize women and children. Part III turns to ways men victimize other men. Finally, Part IV looks at men and organizational violence. Understanding the masculinities-violence nexus is crucially important to finding ways to mitigate the masculine tendency to violence. This perceptive volume will be an important resource for all those interested in the field of gender roles, men′s studies, and interpersonal violence.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52596159447313,"sku":"NLS9780761904519","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780761904519.jpg?v=1761072334"},{"product_id":"masculinities-gender-relations-and-sport-book-jim-mckay-9780761912712","title":"Masculinities, Gender Relations, and Sport","description":"In the era of sports dominance in America, athletics have become both a metaphor and reality of American masculinity.
