Masculinities, Violence and Culture (SAGE Series on Violence against Women)

Description:

"This book offers a postmodern analysis linking the contemporary social crisis of masculine subjectivity with the law-and-order crisis over escalating violence. In doing so, it examines the major biological, psychological, sociological, and anthropological theoretical models of masculinity and violence, and it formulates an integrated theoretical approach to the relationship between violence and masculinity. In essence, the book focuses on violence as a gendered activity - specifically, a masculine activity."--BOOK JACKET.
