With essays ranging in topic from the films of Neil LaBute to the
sexual politics of Major League Baseball, this diverse collection
of essays examines the multi-faceted media images of contemporary
masculinity from a variety of perspectives and academic
disciplines. The book's first half focuses on the issue of
racialized masculinity and its various manifestations, with essays
covering, among other topics, the re-imagining of Asian American
masculinity in Justin Lin's Better Luck Tomorrow and the
ever-present image of black male buffoonery in the neo-minstrel
performances of VH1's Flavor of Love. The book's second half
explores the issue of contemporary mediated performance and the
cultural politics of masculinity, with essays focusing on popular
media representations of men in a variety of gendered roles, from
homemakers and househusbands to valorous war heroes and athletic
demigods.
