Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Are all men the same? What do men want? What makes a real man? During the 1990s and into the new millennium, questions such as these have been raised across social and cultural arenas in local and global contexts. In response, this work adopts an international perspective and meets the current need for a comprehensive introduction to contemporary debates about men and masculinity.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [158]-173) and indexes.
