This best-selling reader on men and masculinity, edited by two of the most prominent researchers on men, contains the most current articles on masculinity available. Organized around themes that define masculinity, this reader takes the position that men (as well as women) are gendered and that this gendering process is a central experience for men. The authors explore how working class men, men of color, gay men, older men, younger men, and boys construct different versions of masculinity. One reviewer says, This reader does a remarkable job of showing the interconnectedness of race, class, and gender It also makes clear that any discussion of 'men's lives' of necessity involves an understanding of the social roles of both men and women, and of gender inequality.Kimmel, Michael S. is the author of 'Men's Lives' with ISBN 9780205321056 and ISBN 0205321054.
