While there exist numerous studies on ecocriticism and ecofeminism,
much less has been written about ecomasculinities. This volume
contributes to filling this gap by examining models of fictional
ecomasculinity in and through contemporary U.S. literature and
cinema. Our study examines ecomasculinities as practices of
masculinity which are deeply conservationist and can embrace
non-masculine traits. In this line of thought, a main goal of the
volume is to interrogate the potential of ecomasculinities to
elicit in men a desire to become engage in other practices of
masculinity that are counter-hegemonic and have as main goal to
achieve equality on different strata of society. Bridging the gap
between the Social Sciences and the Humanities, the book
interrogates intersections between ecomasculinities and
masculinities beyond capitalism, ecomasculinities and aging, and
ecomasculinities and queerness, among others.

Behind every crime novel there is a family. The author's, the
hero's (or the heroine's), and that of the villains themselves.
Some families organise themselves into crime syndicates,
controlling drugs, prostitution and illegal gambling. Others are
simply dysfunctional, tearing themselves apart, fathers against
sons, mothers against daughters, sisters against brothers, husbands
against wives. Not everyone escapes alive. However, families do not
exist in a vacuum. They are an important part of our society-for
many, one of its most essential building blocks. That being said,
society itself can impinge disastrously on personal relationships.
War, that greatest of crimes, leaves children bereft of parents.
Generations of children are stolen by cynical, racist
administrators in supposedly civilised countries. Religion requires
its followers to flourish and multiply, while abandoning
all-including family-for their faith. All of these issues and more
are explored in this collection of essays about crime fiction and
the family.
