masculinity

Argues that many of the physical and emotional problems that men encounter aren't a product of biology, but of modern social tragedy.

Offers insight into the behaviors and feelings of boys, examining the question of what boys need to become emotionally whole men, and arguing that American culture is forcing boys into lives of isolation, shame, and anger by suppressing their emotional lives in service to ideals of manhood.

Looks at masculine identities and concepts of manliness from throughout history and examines contemporary issues of male sexuality and same-sex identity.

Presents tools and strategies to help boys break free of violence, learn how to deal in a positive way with their emotions, and determine for themselves what it means to be a man.

This book seeks to lay bare the many pressures being exerted upon teen males to develop into a socially acceptable type of manhood.

Explores how young men are influenced by the other males they are surrounded with, drawing on interviews with sixteen- to twenty-six-year-old men to determine how a man's beliefs, actions, attitudes, and self-image are influenced by the males they surround themselves with as they enter adulthood.
