| Sumario: | What is masculinity? Dominating the world around us, from Trump's Twitter outbursts to deadly gun violence, from male suicide rates to incels on Reddit and 4chan, masculinity is perceived to be 'toxic', 'fragile' and 'in crisis'. This book exposes masculinity as a performance that men are socially conditioned into. Using examples of non-Western cultural traditions, music and sport, the author shines light on historical narratives around manhood, debunking popular myths along the way. The author explores how LGBTQ men, men of color, and male refugees experience masculinity in diverse ways, revealing its fluidity, how it's strengthened and weakened by different political contexts, such as the patriarchy or the far-right, and perceived differently by those around them. |
