• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

According to the researchers cited in this book, homophobia profoundly affects the development of gay and straight men. One of the Boys: Masculinity, Homophobia, and Modern Manhood takes a fresh look at the formation of modern male sexual identities. Readers will find that homophobia is not only widespread, but it takes diverse forms and has far-reaching behavioral and social consequences. The new concept of ¿homophobic passage,¿ which is part of the development of all young men, will enlighten the reader as to the proposed ¿causes¿ of homo and heterosexuality. Through interviews with young men, this study reveals that homophobia serves to define the idea of 'not self,' 'difference,' and 'otherness' during the process of forming adult male identities, leading the reader to discover how the passage of young males from childhood to adulthood plays an important role in that formation of the modern adult male self.
