Recreating Men

Description:

"The book presents a critique of patriarchal dominance from within the experiences of white, heterosexual, profeminist men. The author examines how men, who are supportive of feminism, are responding to the feminist challenge." "Driven by practical as well as theoretical concepts, the book develops strategies that will promote the process of change towards equality in gender relations. Drawing on a critical postmodern theoretical framework, Bob Pease argues that it is possible for men to reposition themselves in patriarchal discourses and to reformulate their interests in challenging gender domination." "Recreating Men is invaluable reading for academics and students of men's studies and women's studies, and of interest to students of sociology, psychology and political sociology."--Jacket.
