Challenging Myths of Masculinity (eBook, ePUB)

Understanding Physical Cultures

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on extensive field research conducted in North America and Britain over a twenty year period, this book challenges masculine myth making. Mindful of a rich sociological tradition that seeks to understand the social world as lived and experienced, the authors provide insights that are likely to challenge common perceptions of various groups of men and boys, their diverse physical cultures, shared ways of being and identities.
