In the past, research in the field of gender has mainly addressed
issues about women, and has for the most part been developed by
women. Recently, the study of gender has rapidly expanded and there
has been a growing interest in men's and boys' identities, conduct,
and problems. The Handbook of Studies on Men and Masculinities is
an interdisciplinary and international culmination of the growth of
men's studies that also offers insight about future directions for
the field. The Handbook provides a broad view of masculinities
primarily across the social sciences, with the inclusion of
important debates in some areas of the humanities and natural
sciences. The various approaches presented in this Handbook range
across different disciplines, theoretical perspectives,
methodologies, and conceptualizations in relation to the topic of
men. Editors Michael S. Kimmel, Jeff Hearn, and Robert W. Connell
have assembled an esteemed group of contributors who are among the
best-known experts in their particular fields. The Handbook of
Studies on Men and Masculinities examines the construction of
masculinities in four different frames: the social organization of
masculinities in their global and regional iterations; the
institutional reproduction and articulation of masculinities; the
ways in which masculinities are organized and practiced within a
context of gender relations; and the ways in which individual men
express and understand their gendered identities. The Handbook is
organized in a way that moves from the larger, global, and
institutional articulations of masculinities, to the more intimate
and personal expressions. The Handbook of Studies on Men and
Masculinities provides scholars, researchers, and students with the
most current, incisive scholarship available for the men's studies
area of gender studies. It is a vital resource for those interested
in the practical or cultural issues about men, boys, and gender, as
well as an excellent addition to any academic library.
