Manhood in America. A Cultural History

This book, originally a trade publication, is a written history of the way manhood
has been constructed and protrayed in America. It is designed for courses on masculinity,
which are becoming increasingly commonplace in the gender curriculum. It also can
serve as a supplement for courses in gender studies, gender roles, and cultural
history, taught in a number of disciplines. This edition features updated chapters
and examples, including coverage through the Bush administration, touching on how
notions of masculinity affect current political and social issues.
