Men's Lives by Michael S Kimmel
This best-selling reader on men and masculinity, edited by two of the most prominent researchers on men, contains the most current articles on masculinity available. Organized around themes that define masculinity, this reader takes the position that men (as well as women) are “gendered” and that this gendering process is a central experience for men. The authors explore how working class men, men of color, gay men, older men, younger men, and boys construct different versions of masculinity. One reviewer says, “This reader does a remarkable job of showing the interconnectedness of race, class, and gender … It also makes clear that any discussion of `men's lives' of necessity involves an understanding of the social roles of both men and women, and of gender inequality.”Kimmel is a sociology professor at Stony Brook University, which is part of the State University of New York. Many of his publications have been published by SUNY Press, including The History of Men: Studies on the History of American and British Masculinities and The Gendered Society, Second Edition. He also serves as the editor of Men and Masculinities, a significant publication in the subject.
