Description
This groundbreaking work examines the long-ignored issue of masculinity and masculine identity in German culture, society, and literature from 1945 to the present.
Using emerging mens studies theories, feminism, psychoanalysis, and literary studies, the book provides a resource for understanding how masculinity informs various social relationships. It also explores the representation of masculinity in postwar German literature, the psychic legacies of fascism, and the complex identities of Turkish-German and Jewish-German men.
Most significantly, this book offers tools for critical reflection on power dynamics between men and women, as well as other less powerful groups.
