'Manufactured' Masculinity should be considered essential reading
for scholars in the humanities and social sciences at every level
and in all parts of the academic world. It weaves together
brilliantly the elements of the 'manufacture' of masculinity in the
period world-famous 'public' school system for the privileged which
serviced the largest empire, the world has ever known, at the
zenith of its control and which has had a significant influence in
the formation of the modern world. This authoritative study of the
making of British imperial masculinity shines light on the period
of Muscular Christianity, Social Darwinism and Militarism as meshed
ideological instruments of both power and persuasion. This
magisterial study reveals the extraordinary and paramount influence
of games fields as the 'machine tools' in an 'industrial process'
with the schools as 'workshops' containing 'cultural
conveyor-belts' for the production of robust, committed and
confident servants of empire, and templates for imperial
reproduction in imperial possessions. Mainly on efficient
'production belt' playing fields of the privileged minds were
moulded, attitudes were constructed and bodies shaped - for
imperial manhood. Earlier 'manliness' was metamorphosized, morality
was redefined and militarism at the high point of imperial grandeur
was an adjunct. Professor Mangan outlines this unique process of
cultural conditioning with a unique range of evidence and analysis.
This book was published as a special double issue of the
International Journal of the History of Sport.
