Reviews / Votes
Nigel Edley is a leading scholar of masculinities. Here he brings together his insights from 25 years of man-watching in a compelling book that provides an excellent introduction to the field. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand men and masculinity today.Rosalind Gill, Professor of Cultural and Social Analysis, City, University of London
Men and Masculinity: The Basics is a great read - superbly connecting academia to everyday life. Edley takes us skillfully through a wealth of cases, research reports and anecdotes, opening sites of tremendous controversy and contention, leaving us with a deeper understanding - and even some optimism for cultural change. - Michael Bamberg, Professor of Psychology, Clark University
