Rezensionen

"This handbook offers an indispensable survey of the meanings, forms and structures of masculinity in contemporary culture. This book is timely and relevant!"

Jack Halberstam, author of Female Masculinity

"Covering a broad, interdisciplinary range of approaches within Masculinity Studies, this handbook provides a welcome overview of genealogies and contemporary perspectives. The ambition to decentre the location of the field in the Global North, as well as to highlight its entanglements with feminist, queer, trans-, and postcolonial studies makes the volume stand out.

Nina Lykke, Professor Emerita, Gender Studies, Linköping University

"This is the text I should have had when I was a young scholar; the fact that I will reach for it today is testimony to the attention the authors pay to the historical journey of masculinity studies while remaining refreshingly relevant. The handbook offers new areas of reading masculinities from transnational, intersectional and multi-disciplinary perspectives. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the question, 'who-or what-is a man?'"

Akosua Adomako Ampofo, Professor of African and Gender Studies, University of Ghana (Legon)
