The Masculinities Reader provides a comprehensive introduction to key debates in masculinity studies. This accessible text brings together important work on various subjects, including male power, patriarchy, and sexualities, offering a unique overview of an increasingly important field of sociological enquiry. Structured around the concept of identity, the book explores topics such as hegemonic masculinity, violence, schooling, language, homophobia, and Black, Latino, and Chicano masculinities. The authors also examine postmodernism and subjectivity, providing a nuanced understanding of masculinity in crisis. This book is an invaluable resource for students and researchers exploring men and masculinities, drawing on research from around the world to provide a global perspective on gender change.
