Male
Order: Unwrapping Masculinity
A new edition of our ground-breaking
collection of articles exploring the meanings of masculinity, at work, at
home, in politics and in love. Looking at fashion, images of black men, heterosexuality,
feminism, the new man and families, it examines some of the growing uncertainties
about what it means to be male today.
A feature of all the contributors is that they refer as a constant touchstone
to popular culture - in film, television, fiction and daily life. This book
sets out to unwrap the myths that have surrounded masculinity and men's power,
and argues that we need an understanding of masculinity if we are to make
sense of politics and change in the 1990s.

the subject' Emmanuel Cooper
