Masculinity and the Paradox of Violence in American Fiction,
1950-75 explores the intersections of violence, masculinity, and
racial and ethnic tension in America as it is depicted in the
fiction of Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright, Norman Mailer, Saul
Bellow, James Baldwin, and Philip Roth. Maggie McKinley reconsiders
the longstanding association between masculinity and violence,
locating a problematic paradox within works by these writers: as
each author figures violence as central to the establishment of a
liberated masculine identity, the use of this violence often
reaffirms many constricting and emasculating cultural myths and
power structures that the authors and their protagonists are
seeking to overturn.
