Praise for the first edition:Prize: A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2010
'Observing that the definitions and cultural depictions of men have become increasingly negative over the past 50 years, Synnott challenges the misandrist and unbalanced view of men so prevalent in popular culture and literature, gives voice to the large numbers of powerless men, and offers a more balanced perspective on gender and power relations...The result is a comprehensive, engaging, and important contribution of immense value to any student or scholar interested in the past, present, and future of masculinity and men's studies...Essential.'
- Choice
'Overall, Synnott presents a much needed addition to the literature and scholarship on men and masculinity that offers those interested in Gender Studies a fresh, balanced, humanist perspective ... Re-Thinking Men is a book that must be given consideration by anyone aiming to achieve gender equality and justice.'
- Danielle M. Soulliere, Canadian Journal of Sociology Praise for the first edition:
