Produktbeschreibung
A Matter of Men is presented in a poetic manner, in diaphanous language with daring and innovative images, laying out the evolution of "man," from childhood through adulthood¿not defined by age but through one's encounter with the Self. This "man" ¿ represents all human beings... Heidi Ann García, Ph.D. Chasqui, Arizona State University A Matter of Men weaves a multi-textured tapestry of the events, challenges and preconceptions that shape the definition of manhood: from the ritual of a boy coming of age to the youth who discovers the challenges of the adult world. This collection of stories also examines an array of adult characters from all walks of life and from varied economic and social backgrounds, in an attempt to better understand the place of gender in a changing world. The world is changing at breakneck speed, yet in many respects man's identity and sense of self-worth are defined by ancient canons. At the same time, mass media and marketing shape our tastes, dictate what we buy and guide our expectations and behavior. Benito Pastoriza Iyodo uses a cinematic approach to present and juxtapose divergent and evolving views on masculine identity, taking the reader through a range of emotions on a journey that reflects the challenging matters of men. (Bilingual Edition with Introduction by Bradley Warren Davis)
