Description
Looking Good Male Body Image in Modern America by Lynne Luciano The pursuit of physical perfection has become an increasingly important aspect of American culture. Since the 1970s, men have been spending millions of dollars on fitness training, bodybuilding, hair replacement, and cosmetic surgery to achieve a desired look. This trend is not new to women, but what has caused American men to fall into the beauty trap? Lynne Luciano explores the social, economic, and cultural changes that have shaped the new cult of male body image in postwar America. By examining the reasons behind this phenomenon, she sheds light on what it reveals about American society today. This book offers a valuable examination of the complex issues surrounding male body image in modern America.
