Recently, the U.S. has seen a rise in misogynistic and race-based
violence perpetrated by men expressing a sense of grievance, from
"incels" to alt-right activists. Grounding sociological,
historical, political, and economic analyses of masculinity through
the lens of cultural narratives in many forms and expressions, The
Routledge Companion to Masculinity in American Literature and
Culture suggests that how we examine the stories that shape us in
turn shapes our understanding of our current reality and gives us
language for imagining better futures. Masculinity is more than a
description of traits associated with particular performances of
gender. It is more than a study of gender and social power. It is
an examination of the ways in which gender affects our capacity to
engage ethically with each other in complex human societies. This
volume offers essays from a range of established, global experts in
American masculinity as well as new and upcoming scholars in order
to explore not just what masculinity once meant, has come to mean,
and may mean in the future in the U.S.; it also articulates what is
at stake with our conceptions of masculinity.
