Masculinities under Neoliberalism
ISBN: 9781783607662 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Neoliberalism has had a radical impact on how people perceive and experience gender around the world. But while the impact of this economic and social framework on gender has received significant scholarly attention in the case of women, there has been a dearth of scholarship on how it affects men s experience and understanding of gender. Building on the work of Cornwall and Lindisfarne s landmark text Dislocating Masculinity, this collection provides a fresh perspective on gender dynamics under neoliberalism.
The subjects covered in Masculinities under Neoliberalism range... Neoliberalism has had a radical impact on how people perceive and experience gender around the world. But while the impact of this economic and social...

The Empress Is Naked: From Female Privilege to Gender Equality and Social Liberation
ISBN: 9781522706045 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Are women oppressed today? If so, why is it that they live more? Why are they happier? Long-time political activist Adam Leonas examines the arguments about the oppression of women, and shows that all the supposed disadvantages are essentially trade-offs against much worse alternatives. He takes a fascinating look into the biology of the sexes, to find where female superiority and male weakness is located: sex. He argues that the point in history when the prehistoric gender balance was overturned was during "the worst mistake in human history": the Agricultural Revolution, where what he calls...

This innovative book analyses the role gender plays in the relationship between globalisation, migration and reproductive labour. Exploring the gendered experiences of migrant men and the social construction of racialised masculinities in the context of the 'international division of reproductive labour' (IDRL), it examines how new patterns of consumption and provision of paid domestic/care work lead to forms of inequality across racial, ethnic, gender and class lines. Based on an ethnographic analysis of the working and family lives of migrant men within the IDRL, it focuses on the...

Becoming a Barbarian
ISBN: 9780985452353 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Becoming a Barbarian is a follow-up to Donovan's cult hit, The Way of Men. Good, modern, "civilized" Western men today are expected to think like "citizens of the world" - obligated to everyone and no one. Natural, meaningful tribal connections have been substituted with synthetic, disposable consumer identities. Without a sense of who they are and what group they have a place in, modern men are becoming increasingly detached, disoriented, vulnerable, and ever more easily manipulated. Becoming a Barbarian attacks the emasculated emptiness of life in the modern West - "The Empire of Nothing"...

The Link between Masculinity, Alcohol and HIV/Aids in Malawi
ISBN: 9789996096884 / Angielski / Miękka / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is common knowledge that HIV is widespread in Malawi as it is in many other countries of Southern Africa. It is also a well-known fact that women suffer most and frequently are blamed the most. Many attempts are being made to address the pandemic and reduce the suffering, and often women are the focus. This book differs in that it looks at the other side, men. It contends that men have to play a major role in the fight, not only by changing behaviour but also by understanding concepts of masculinity and that women may also profit from that.

The Two Types of Men
ISBN: 9781634137126 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Two Types of Men, a fresh, straightforward theory synthesizes how the human species' biological and societal roots gave rise to two categories of men: the weapon user and the weapon maker. Each type with his differing purpose also had differing breeding goals and outcomes. The relatively recent move of humans to an urban (instead of a tribal) lifestyle has caused specific adaptations of these behaviors with far-reaching consequences.
Beginning with the common persistent questions of why women choose violent men as sexual partners and, congruently, why men inflict... In The Two Types of Men, a fresh, straightforward theory synthesizes how the human species' biological and societal roots gave rise to two ca...

Of Beards and Men: The Revealing History of Facial Hair
ISBN: 9780226479200 / Angielski / Miękka / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Beards--they're all the rage these days. Take a look around: from hip urbanites to rustic outdoorsmen, well-groomed metrosexuals to post-season hockey players, facial hair is everywhere. The New York Times traces this hairy trend to Big Apple hipsters circa 2005 and reports that today some New Yorkers pay thousands of dollars for facial hair transplants to disguise patchy, juvenile beards. And in 2014, blogger Nicki Daniels excoriated bearded hipsters for turning a symbol of manliness and power into a flimsy fashion statement. The beard, she said, has turned into the padded bra of...

Women are beautiful, glorious creatures capable of wonderous, wonderful things. On the other hand, like everything else in the universe, they also have limitations. Sure, we might PRETEND they don't, but history, biology and our own eyes tell us otherwise. The fear of hurting women's feelings has created a disjointed view of the world around us, a fantasy world detached from reality. While the very idea of this book may offend many, the well-researched content is a liberating... STUFF WOMEN CAN'T DO: 25 Things We All Know Girls Can't Do (But We Pretend They Can)
