{"product_id":"masculinities-rw-connell-9781741145199","title":"Masculinities","description":"When it was first published over a decade ago, R.W. Connell's ground-breaking text on the nature and construction of masculine identity rapidly became a classic. In \u003ci\u003eMasculinities\u003c\/i\u003e Connell argues that there is not one masculinity, but many different masculinities, each associated with different positions of power. In a world gender order that continues to privilege men over women, but also raises difficult issues for men and boys, her account is more relevant than ever before. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this new edition, Connell discusses the development of masculinity studies in the ten years since the book's initial publication. She explores global gender relations, new theories, and practical uses of masculinity research. She also addresses the politics of masculinities, and the implications of masculinity research for understanding current world issues. Against the backdrop of an increasingly divided world, dominated by neo-conservative politics, Connell's account highlights a series of compelling questions about the future of human society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMasculinities\u003c\/i\u003e has been translated into many languages and in 2004 it was voted one of the ten most influential books in Australian sociology. This second edition will be essential reading for students taking courses in gender studies, and a valuable reference for readers across the humanities and social sciences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e the fundamental study on masculinity as a formative factor of modern social inequality, and also one of the most important books in the social sciences in recent years' \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eProfessor Ilse Lenz, Ruhr University, Bochum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rw Connell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1741145198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781741145199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Rw Connell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126862737663,"sku":"9781741145199","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5d286c7-7c9b-4272-ab64-64b8d72d2766.jpg?v=1687450568","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/masculinities-rw-connell-9781741145199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
