Slow Motion by L Segal
In this revised classic text, Segal's overview of theories of masculinity considers continuities and change in hegemonic notions of masculinity and focuses on competing male identities, exemplified in black, ethnic, gay and anti-sexist groups. The contrast in power and privilege across these groups has led many to speak of 'masculinity in crisis'.Praise for earlier editions:
'Refreshingly asserts that monolithic mouthings about 'men' and 'women' will get us nowhere.. A well-informed survey of men in historical, sociological and psychological contexts' - Roy Porter
''A detailed overview of theories and writing on masculinity..dense and thoughtful' - Angela Phillips, Independent
