Media and Male Identity (eBook, PDF)

The Making and Remaking of Men

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a landmark in-depth study of how mass media contributes to the making and remaking of male identity. It concludes that, unless addressed, the effects of negative discourse on the self-identity and self-esteem of men, are potentially devastating and that the longer-term and wider social implications will also be costly.
