Masculinities: How masculinities are made and how they differ; why gender change occurs and how men handle it; how social science understands masculinity; how we can pursue social justice in a gendered world. (1995) By R.W. Connell
 
This is the first edition of R.W. Connell's groundbreaking text, which has become a classic work on the nature and construction of masculine identity.
 
In its first edition, Masculinities provided one of the most important voices in feminist scholarship by men. Connell argued that there is no such thing as a single concept of masculinity, but, rather, that many different masculinities exist, each associated with different positions of power. In a world in which gender order continues to extend privilege to men over women, but that also raises difficult issues for men and boys, Connell's account is more pertinent than ever.
 
Against the backdrop of an increasingly divided world, one that is presently dominated by neo-conservative politics, Connell's account highlights a series of compelling questions about the future of human society.
