Abstract

This edited volume provides an overview of the newly developing "critical study of men and masculinities" (also referred to as "the new men's studies" or "men's studies"), a field that is mushrooming in Britain and the United States. The book arises out of the 1988 Bradford conference entitled "Men, masculinity and Social Theory" and held under the auspices of the British Sociological Association. Hearn and Morgan's worthwhile but problematic book charts the shakey beginnings of this fledgling academic field, its proponents often rumbling blindly into a minefield of contradictions, against the background of scathing critique from onlooking feminists.
