<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Focusing on global examples of gender equality, this collection explores non-dominant models of masculinity that represent gender equity in pro-feminist ways. Essays explore new alternative models of masculinity by a wide variety of contemporary authors and texts, ranging from Paul Auster to Jonathan Franzen.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"As the title, Alternative Masculinities for a Changing World, indicates: this is fundamentally a political book. It also makes a major scholarly contribution in engaging very seriously across the social science-humanities boundary, and between social scientists and literary, cultural, and humanities scholars. Such boundary-crossing brings new angles and elements of uncertainty, unsettling, and surprise into the analysis and the politics around men and masculinities, and this is what is needed for change." - Jeff Hearn, Professor, Örebro University, Sweden; Hanken School of Economics, Finland; University of Huddersfield, UK</p> <p>"Finding new ways for men to live, creating more gender-equal masculinities, is an urgent task for all concerned with gender justice and indeed human survival. Alternative Masculinities for a Changing World engages both social science and creative literature in this exploration. It's a bold and imaginative project, and the book gives readers a varied and hopeful view of what's possible for modern gender relations and the lives of men." - Raewyn Connell, University Chair of Education and Social Work, The University of Sydney, Australia</p> <p>"In this rich anthology Carabí and Armengol draw together some remarkably wide-ranging reflections on the pitfalls of shifting masculinities in the contemporary global arena. There has never been more need for the sort of cross-cultural dialogue on the possibilities for expanding the life-enhancing, alternative masculinities explored so well in this invaluable collection." - Lynne Segal, Anniversary Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies, University of London, UK, and author of Out of Time: The Pleasures & Perils of Ageing</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Marta Bosch-Vilarrubias, University of Barcelona, Spain Mercè Cuenca, University of Barcelona, Spain Michael Flood, University of Wollongong, Australia Mar Gallego, University of Huelva, Spain Matthew Gutmann, Brown University, USA David Leverenz, University of Florida, USA Sara Martín, University of Barcelona, Spain Bob Pease, Deakin University, Australia Teresa Requena-Pelegrí, University of Barcelona, Spain Barbara Ozieblo, University of Málaga, Spain Victor J.
