Men of the World will be seized upon by academics and activists
facing up to the persistence, proliferation and
transnationalization of patriarchies. - Cynthia Cockburn, City
University, London and University of Warwick "This is an important,
thought-provoking and incredibly timely book from one of the
leading scholars in the field of men and masculinities. I cannot
praise this wonderful book highly enough." - Richard Collier,
Newcastle University "In this lively and engaging new book, Hearn
looks back over nearly 40 years in feminist-framed studies of men
and masculinities, and also forward to the futuristic scenarios
through which gender power is currently evolving in
transpatriarchal contexts." - Terrell Carver, University of Bristol
What have men and globalization got to do with each other? How are
men shaping and being shaped by globalization? How is globalization
gendered? Why do many books on globalization fail to discuss gender
relations? And why do many of those that do omit an explicit and
developed analysis of men and gender relations? Men of the World
brings together autobiographical reflections and memories on
changing personal locations, contemporary empirical studies on
major power processes, and up to date theoretical development. It
considers the implications of debates on globalization for
analyzing men, and the implications of debates on men and
masculinities for globalization, transnational change and
transnational patriarchies, as part of engagement and critique
focused on the global North. Specific chapters address diverse
transnational issues: transnational bodies and emotions in
violence, violation and militarism; transnational organizing across
states, big business, global finance, and activism; transnational
movements in the environment, migration, and information and
communication technologies and sexualities; and finally, challenges
to the gender category of 'men'. An essential read for students and
researchers of gender, sexuality, masculinity, intersectionality,
and globalization across the social sciences. Jeff Hearn is Guest
Faculty Research Professor, Gender Studies, OErebro University,
Sweden; Professor of Management and Organization, Hanken School of
Economics, Finland; Professor of Sociology, University of
Huddersfield, UK.
