"This book breaks new ground and expands the discourse on
masculinities. Connell is an energetic scholar whose eclectic
internationalist, sociological, historical, and even psychoanalytic
perspectives are important to hear. Probably no other scholar
writing on masculinity has such a broad grasp."--Tim Beneke, author
of "Proving Manhood
"Connell has provided a much needed nudge to current scholarship
on masculinities by showing the way toward larger global
theorization. "The Men and the Boys is an outstanding work that
will be very well received."--Michael A. Messner, University of
Southern California
"Bob Connell is arguably the most influential male social
scientist writing about masculinities today. And this colection of
essays shows him in top form. Connell is a most adept theorist who
can synthesize micro and macro, structural and personal, individual
bodies and the body social, and, even more ambitiously, the global
and--literally!--the microbial. This is a truly important book."--
Michael Kimmel, author of "Manhood in America and "The Gendered
Society
"Bob Connell is the most fertile, astute and influential analyst
of the myriad and messy meanings of masculinities on the planet.
"The Men and the Boys "boldly extends the scope, depth and power of
the foundational work he laid in "Masculinities "to address the
most urgent and difficult questions about global gender and
injustice of our time. Dare I label it a heroic work?"--Judith
Stacey, author of "Brave New Families"
