Description
Hegemonic Masculinity: Formulation, Reformulation, and Amplification by James W. Messerschmidt provides a comprehensive overview of the concept of hegemonic masculinity, from its original conception to its current applications in contemporary gender studies.
This book examines the development of the concept, including its formulation, reformulation, and amplification over time. It also explores why and how hegemonic masculinities are constructed, and chronicles the prospects for social change towards more egalitarian gender relations.
With a focus on the history of the concept and key research on hegemonic masculinity, this book brings together essential insights into one volume, making it an important resource for scholars and researchers in political science, psychology, sociology, and related fields.
