Series: The Basics

Men and Masculinity: The Basics is an accessible introduction to the academic study of masculinity which outlines the key ideas and most pressing issues concerning the field today. Providing readers with a framework for understanding these issues, it explores the ways that Masculinity has been understood in the Social Sciences and Humanities to date. Addressing theories which view masculinity as being in a permanent state of flux and crisis, it explores such problem areas as:

    * The Male Body
    * Men and Work
    * Men and Fatherhood
    * Male Sexuality
    * Male Violence

With a glossary of key terms, case studies reflecting the most important studies in the field of masculinity research and suggestions for further study, Men and Masculinity: The Basics is an essential read for anyone approaching the study of masculinity for the first time.

Reviews for Men and Masculinity: The Basics

Nigel Edley is a leading scholar of masculinities. Here he brings together his insights from 25 years of man-watching in a compelling book that provides an excellent introduction to the field. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand men and masculinity today. Rosalind Gill, Professor of Cultural and Social Analysis, City, University of London Men and Masculinity: The Basics is a great read - superbly connecting academia to everyday life. Edley takes us skillfully through a wealth of cases, research reports and anecdotes, opening sites of tremendous controversy and contention, leaving us with a deeper understanding - and even some optimism for cultural change. - Michael Bamberg, Professor of Psychology, Clark University
