Debating Modern Masculinities Change, Continuity, Crisis?

"An excellent collection of chapters critiquing the ongoing commonsense notion ... that there is a crisis of masculinity. The chapters are united in their deconstruction of this notion, presenting instead a range of portraits of modern masculinities ... It will be of interest to students and researchers in a number of different fields, most notably in gender studies and the sociology of youth." - Charlie Walker, University of Southampton, UK

"Challenging the assumption that masculinity is in crisis by outlining how social change has had a positive impact upon the identity of boys and men, this book presents a wide ranging set of chapters that place contemporary masculinity in a more inclusive, rather than orthodox, state of flux. Educators, researchers and students interested in the changing nature of masculinity will find the book engaging and highly informative with the collection of chapters it contains and the research that has been conducted within them." - Jamie Cleland, Loughborough University, UK.
