What does it mean for men to join with women as allies in
preventing sexual assault and domestic violence? Based on life
history interviews with men and women anti-violence activists aged
22 to 70, Some Men explores the strains and tensions of men's work
as feminist allies. When feminist women began to mobilize against
rape and domestic violence, setting up shelters and rape crisis
centers, a few men asked what they could do to help. They were
directed "upstream," and told to "talk to the men" with the goal of
preventing future acts of violence. This is a book about men who
took this charge seriously, committing themselves to working with
boys and men to stop violence, and to change the definition of what
it means to be a man. The book examines the experiences of three
generational cohorts: a movement cohort of men who engaged with
anti-violence work in the 1970s and early 1980s, during the height
of the feminist anti-violence mobilizations; a bridge cohort who
engaged with anti-violence work from the mid-1980s into the 1990s,
as feminism receded as a mass movement and activists built
sustainable organizations; a professional cohort who engaged from
the mid-1990s to the present, as anti-violence work has become
embedded in community and campus organizations, non-profits, and
the state. Across these different time periods, stories from life
history interviews illuminate men's varying paths-including men of
different ethnic and class backgrounds-into anti-violence work.
Some Men explores the promise of men's violence prevention work
with boys and men in schools, college sports, fraternities, and the
U.S. military. It illuminates the strains and tensions of such
work-including the reproduction of male privilege in feminist
spheres-and explores how men and women navigate these tensions.
