Handbook of Studies on Men and Masculinities

This volume is an interdisciplinary and international culmination of the growth of men's studies that also offers insight about future directions for the field. The book provides a broad view of masculinities primarily across the social sciences, with the inclusion of important debates in some areas of the humanities and natural sciences. The volume also examines the construction of masculinities in four different frames: the social organization of masculinities in their global and regional iterations; the institutional reproduction and articulation of masculinities; the ways in which masculinities are organized and practiced within a context of gender relations; and the ways in which individual men express and understand their gendered identities.
