Based on novel ethnographic research conducted in New York City, this book explores through the lens of intersectionality how gender impacts men¿s experiences of full-time fatherhood, as well as how sexuality, race, class, faith, and so on result in unequal access to choices and opportunities as parents. Chapters analyze how perspectives on caregiving are complicated by varying cultural, gendered, and racialized stereotypes and representations that pull different fathers toward or push them away from particular models of fatherhood in an urban context. Additionally, the author interrogates how societal conceptions of men¿s bodies also play a role in how men understand their experiences of fatherhood. This book will be of interest to scholars and students studying gender, masculinity, and fatherhood.

Welcome to a world unlike any you've ever known: a metropolis exclusively inhabited by men. In his audacious and eye-opening novel, Tom Hudson invites you into a society that shatters conventional norms, a place where clothing is optional, intimacy is public, and the male form is worshipped in all its glory. But what happens when a city is completely devoid of women? And when the men aren't labeled as gay or straight, but simply as men? In a narrative that explores love, sexuality, and the essence of freedom, "The Metropolis of Males: A New World Order" is a thrilling exploration of an alternate reality that poses as many questions as it answers.

Now more than ever there is a need to focus on Black men's health in higher education and ensure that future practitioners are trained to ethically and culturally serve this historically oppressed community. This textbook provides practical insight and knowledge that prepare students to work with Black men and their families from a strengths-based and social justice lens. There is a dearth in the literature that discusses the prioritization of Black men¿s health within the context of how they are viewed by societal approaches to engage them in research, and health programming aimed at increasing their participation in health services to decrease their morbidity and mortality rates. Much of the extant literature is over 10 years old and doesn't account for social determinants of health, perceptions of health status, as well as social justice implications that can affect the health outcomes of this historically oppressed population including structuraland systemic racism as well as police brutality and gun violence.The book's 13 chapters represent a diversity of thought and perspectives of experts reflective of various disciplines and are organized in four sections:Part I - Racial Disparities and Black MenPart II - Black Masculinity Part III - Black Men in Research Part IV - Social Justice Implications for Black Men's Health Black Men¿s Health serves as a core text across multiple disciplines and can be utilized in undergraduate- and graduate-level curriculums. It equips students and educators in social work, nursing, public health, and other helping professions with the knowledge and insight that can be helpful in their future experiences of working with Black men or men from other marginalized racial/ethnic groups and their families/social support systems. Scholars, practitioners, and academics in these disciplines, as well as community-based organizations who provide services to Black men and their families, state agencies, and evaluation firms with shared interests also would find this a useful resource.

« Outre les rapprochements novateurs entre les films de Minnelli et Demy, ce livre démontre admirablement qüil est non seulement possible mais important de fonder les approches esthétiques traditionnelles sur une analyse rigoureuse ancrée dans les gender studies. »(Phil Powrie, professeur émérite d¿études cinématographiques, University of Surrey, Royaume Uni)Au-delà de leurs univers oniriques souvent qualifiés d¿enchantés, les films musicaux et les mélodrames de Vincente Minnelli et de Jacques Demy témoignent des mutations socio-culturelles d¿après-guerre.Ces productions du cinéaste de la Nouvelle Vague et du grand représentant de l¿âge d¿or hollywoodien sont emblématiques d¿un style camp apprécié à la fois des publics populaires, des tenant·e·s du cinéma d¿auteur·trice et des sous-cultures queer.A partir d¿une analyse des masculinités articulée aux dimensions de sexualité, de classe et de race, le livre examine les représentations de genre entre la France et les États-Unis, à l¿heure où la Guerre froide, la société de consommation, la décolonisation, mais aussi les mouvements féministes globalisés transforment profondément les identités individuelles et collectives.L¿autrice explore comment les films de ces deux cinéastes, reconnus internationalement mais jamais rapprochés, façonnent des modèles de masculinités alternatives fondées sur des valeurs empathiques et inclusives.

"Golden documents her conversations with psychologists, writers, and young Black males themselves. She writes her son's story against the backdrop of a society plagued by systemic racism, economic inequality, and mass incarceration and offers a form of witness and testimony in a time of crisis for Black Americans. Not only does Golden confront the root causes of violence inflicted upon Black teen boys, she reassesses the legacy of her own generation's struggle for civil rights."--Page [4] of cover.

Looking beyond the marble elegance of Michelangelo's David, the pugnacious, passionate, and--crucially--important story of Renaissance manhood. Making the Renaissance Man explores the images, objects, and experiences that fashioned men and masculinity in the courts of fifteenth-century Italy. Across the peninsula, Italian princes fought each other in fierce battles and spectacular jousts, seduced mistresses, flaunted splendor in lavish rituals of knighting, and demonstrated prowess through the hunt--all ostentatious performances of masculinity and the drive to rule. Hardly frivolous pastimes, these activities were essential displays of privilege and virility; indeed, violence underlay the cultural veneer of the Italian Renaissance. Timothy McCall investigates representations and ideals of manhood in this time and provides a historically grounded and gorgeously illustrated account of how male identity and sexuality proclaimed power during a century crucial to the formation of Early Modern Europe.
