Rural masculinity is hardly a typical topic for a book. There is
something unexpected, faintly disturbing, even humorous about
investigating that which has long been seen and yet so often
overlooked. But the ways in which we think about and socially
organize masculinity are of great significance in the lives of both
men and women. In Country Boys we also see that masculinity is no
less significant in rural life than in urban life.
The essays in this volume offer much-needed insight into the
myths and stereotypes as well as the reality of the lives of rural
men. Interdisciplinary in scope, the contributions investigate what
it means to be a farming man, a logging man, or a boy growing up in
a country town and how this impacts both men and women in city and
country. Chapters cover not only the United States but also Europe,
the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, giving the book an
unusually broad scope.
