Description:
|
Argues that boys' and men's bodies and breadwinner status are the two primary sites for their expression of control. Scott Melzer strategically explores the lives of four groups of adult men struggling with contemporary body and breadwinner ideals. These case studies uncover men's struggles to achieve and maintain manhood, and redefine what it means to be a man.
