New edition of an anthology intended for use in college-level classes on the meaning of gender in men's lives, i.e. what it means to be a man in contemporary US society. Fifty-six articles reprinted from a variety of sources and arranged in briefly introduced thematic sections explore the experience and construction of masculinity from childhood through adulthood. They touch on issues of work, health, intimacy, family, and sexuality from a wide variety of cultural and historical perspectives. Students are bound to find some discussions that resonate with their own experience, others that are entirely new to them. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
