What is social reality for men in modern society? What maintains or
explains this social reality? What condition might we imagine that
would be better for men? How might we achieve this better
condition? These are the questions Kenneth Clatterbaugh brings to
seven different visions of men in modern society considered in this
newly updated edition. In clear and insightful language,
Clatterbaugh surveys not just conservative, liberal, and radical
views of masculinity, but also the alternatives offered by the
men's rights movement, spiritual growth advocates, and black and
gay rights activists. Each of these is explored both as a
theoretical perspective and as a social movement, and each offers
distinctive responses to the questions posed.The first edition of
this book was the first to survey the range of responses to
feminism that men have made as well as the first to put political
theory at the center of men's awareness of their own masculinity.
This new edition adds chapters on recent highly-publicized
movements such at the Promise Keepers, Million Man March, and the
evolution of gay men's rights. Clatterbaugh treats all views with
fairness and timeliness as he develops and defends a vision of men
and masculinity consistent with feminist ideals and a just society.
