Re-Thinking Men

<p>Much writing on men in the field of gender studies tends to focus unduly almost exclusively on portraying men as villains and women as victims in a moral bi-polar paradigm. <i>Re-Thinking Men </i>reverses the proclivity which ignores not only the positive contributions of men to society but also the male victims of life including the homeless the incarcerated the victims of homicide suicide accidents war and the draft and sexism as well as those affected by the failures of the health education political and justice systems. Proceeding from a radically different perspective in seeking a more positive balanced and inclusive view of men (and women) this book presents three contrasting paradigms of men as heroes villains and victims. Revised and updated and presenting data and studies from the United States Canada and the United Kingdom it offers a comparative and revised perspective on gender that will be of interest to scholars across a range of social sciences.</p>
