Unmasking Masculinities by Edward Morris

Unmasking Masculinities by Edward Morris

Unmasking Masculinities: Men and Society is a new anthology that provides a fresh and comprehensive introduction to the field of critical masculinity studies. Grounded in the theories of masculinities with explicit connections between various theoretical perspectives and the readings, this book examines unique domains, such as the Presidency or men′s responses to feminism. Through the book’s emphasis on cross-cultural perspectives and experiences, readers will find new and provocative takes on masculinity today, such as nerd masculinity, female masculinity, misogyny through social media, feminism and men, and men’s intimate relationships with other men.  

"It is nice to get, in one volume, a large collection of seminal works in masculinity, along with the introductions and summaries, and the author interviewsThe latter is a very novel feature that I am [very keen about]."
