Why is there so much talk of a "crisis" of masculinity? How have
ideas of manhood been transformed by feminism? Does feminism hold
the key to the development of more egalitarian forms of
masculinity? Masculinity Studies and Feminist Theory addresses
central questions about the analysis and construction of
masculinity in contemporary society. The volume examines the ways
male privilege and power are constituted and represented and
explores the effect of such constructions on both men and women.
With subjects ranging from Robert Bly's Iron John to Tom Hank's
"niceness," this collection overturns old paradigms about identity,
victimization, and dominant and alternative forms of masculinity to
advance new dialogues between masculinity studies and feminist
theory. Looking particularly at literature, film, and classroom
practices, Masculinity Studies and Feminist Theory links the
analysis of masculinities with feminism's ethical and political
agenda for the future. Its authors share a conviction that such a
link not only reveals the persistence, now more subtle and varied,
of male entitlement but also promises to create an enriched and
reinvigorated feminism for a new century. Why is there so much talk
