Queering Masculinities in Language and Culture by Paul Baker

This innovative work examines new and emerging forms of gender hybridisation in relation to complex socialisation and immigration contexts including the role of EU institutions in ascertaining asylum seekers' sexual orientation, and the European laws on gender policy.

“It would serve as an excellent resource for those interested in the masculine side of social constructionism theory as it relates to gender and invites further discussion of queering masculinities in underserved geopolitical areas” (Ryan C. Redmond, Journal of Language and Sexuality, Vol. 10 (1), 2021)
