Opis

The past twenty years have seen a growing interest in the issues surrounding men and masculinity. This has been driven primarily by the second-wave feminist critique of the legitimacy or hegemony of masculine practice and culture. The hegemony of men in social spheres such as the family, law, and workplace can no longer be taken for granted. This book contributes to contemporary understandings of men and masculinity by presenting a detailed examination of hegemonic masculinity.
