Exploring Masculinities by Tristan Bridges
Exploring Masculinities: Identity, Inequality, Continuity, and Change is a comprehensive and contemporary reader for the growing field of men's and masculinities studies. It takes a conceptual approach by covering the wide range of scholarship being done on masculinities beyond the model of hegemonic masculinity. C.J. Pascoe and Tristan Bridges extend the boundaries of the field and provide a new framework for understanding masculinities studies. Rather than taking a topics-based approach to masculinity, Exploring Masculinities offers an innovative conceptual approach that enables students to study a given phenomenon from a variety of perspectives. It divides up the field in ways that provide accessible introductions to complex debates and key intra- and interdisciplinary distinctions. The book provides a portable set of conceptual tools on which scholars and students can rely to analyze masculinities in different contexts, time periods, and embodiments.
Michael Kimmel, Professor of Sociology at Stony Brook University, is one of the pioneers in the sociology of gender and one of the world's leading experts on men and masculinities. He was the first man to deliver the International Women's Day lecture at the European Parliament; he was the first man to be named the annual lecturer by the Sociologists for Women in Society; and he has been called as an expert witness in several high-profile gender discrimination cases. Among his many books are Men's Lives, The Gendered Society, Manhood in America, and Revolution: A Sociological Perspective. He is also known for his ability to explain sociological ideas to a general audience. His articles have appeared in dozens of magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times, The Nation, T he Village Voice, The Washington Post, and Psychology Today. Amy Aronson is Professor of Journalism and Media Studies at Fordham University. She is the author of Taking Liberties: Early American Women's Magazines and Their Readers and an editor of the international quarterly, Media History. She has coedited several books, including a centennial edition of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Women and Economics and the two-volume Encyclopedia of Men and Masculinities, which was honored by the New York Public Library with a Best of Reference Award in 2004. A former editor at Working Woman and Ms. Magazine, she has also written for publications including BusinessWeek, Global Journalist, and the Sunday supplement of The Boston Globe. Tristan Bridges is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the coeditor of Exploring Masculinities: Identity, Inequality, Continuity, and Change and book review editor at Men and Masculinities.
