The field of masculinities research continues to expand, and has
become increasingly complex. Much of the contemporary analysis of
men, masculinity and power has been influenced by the work of a
number of profeminist writers who have been leading figures in
developing new political interventions around men s identities and
power. These men have been at the forefront of interrogations of
the concept of masculinity and have attempted to develop new forms
of radical gender-conscious politics for men who seek to extend
gender justice.
The New Politics of Masculinity is the first single-authored
feminist text to engage critically with the theoretical frameworks
which leading profeminist writers have developed in the field of
masculinity studies. Drawing on new social movement and
contemporary theory, the book examines the different models of
politics that such writers have evolved for men who want to
challenge dominant forms of masculinities and inequitable gender
relationships. It also assesses the broader effects on the field of
men and masculinities research of these writers diverse
theorisations of key political concepts such as masculinity,
subjectivity, power and resistance.
Overall, The New Politics of Masculinity outlines the central
theoretical issues for scholars and students working in the area of
critical studies of masculinities, and evaluates the effects of men
s gender-conscious politics on feminist scholarship and research.
The New Politics of Masculinity will be of great interest to
students and scholars of gender theory, sociology, and
politics.
