Reviews

'...offer[s] interested readers a wide spectrum of views and arguments that are likely to challenge them to review their own position regarding sexual difference, masculinity and feminism's future.' - Catherine Dahlstrom, European Journal of English Studies

Description

The volume combines key writings on the subject with a broad-ranging introduction which sets the extracts in context
Offers a mixture of classic foundational pieces, such as A Gay Manifesto by Carl Wittman with more recent key works such as Envisioning (Black) Male Feminism by Samuel Adu-Poku
The collection draws on material from English, American, Canadian, New Zealand, Australian and French writers, theorists, and activists
This collection maps a historical trajectory of works over the past 40 years that demonstrate the importance of a feminist engagement with masculinities.

This Reader provides an international mixture of the best classic foundational pieces and recent key works that investigate masculinity from a feminist perspective. The chapters examine a wide range of topics including gay liberation, the men's movement, black and working-class masculinities, homophobia and the Internet.

Readership: Undergraduate and graduate Gender Studies students.
