What is Masculinity?: Historical Dynamics from Antiquity to the Contemporary World

3.4/5 ( ratings)

Across history, the ideas and practices of male identity have varied much between time and place: masculinity proves to be a slippery concept, not available to all men, sometimes even applied to women. This book analyses the dynamics of "masculinity" as both an ideology and lived experience -- how men have tried, and failed, to be "Real Men."
