Remaking Men

<p>The nature of masculinity is a popular subject for contemporary authors either treated critically from a sociological standpoint or analysed from a psychological and spiritual perspective.<br>In <em>Remaking Men</em> David Tacey argues that we must strive to bridge the gap between these separate traditions - masculinity should neither be hijacked by the spiritual Jung-influenced men's movement nor discussed merely as a product of socio-political forces.<br>Examining his own and other men's experience in a critical and lively discourse he evades the simplistic optimism of the 'inner journey' approach and the chronic pessimism of contemporary academic arguments. This is a fascinating and very accessible look at masculinity for those who want to explore self and society with intelligence and soul.</p>
