This book critically analyses how men in prison act out their
masculine identities. It considers how men negotiate their time in
prison, which can involve being placed into a feminine position
relative to other men, and particularly looks at the subversion of
heteronormative gender positionings through bodies, spaces, time,
and relationships. Vulnerability is also taken as a key
consideration, and men are shown to act out their masculinities for
the benefit of an audience that matters to them. However, that
audience is shown to be subject to change at any point in time.
Using extensive ethnographic data drawn from adult male prisoners,
the book adopts the viewpoint of the individual prisoner as a frame
to consider masculinity. It also advances ethnographic research in
criminology by reflecting upon the identity of researchers in
prisons, particularly the female researcher's gendered identity in
such environments. It will be of great interest to scholars of
penology, gender and ethnography.
