edition has been significantly revised to update the large volume of research on men and masculinity that has emerged in the new millennium. Several boxed features have been added and several chapters have been reorganized. In addition to a chapter on ethnic identities and men's ways of being, the author has now added a new chapter on the intersection of masculinities with other forms of identity: social class, sexualities, and aging. Thus, the third edition takes a big step forward in dealing with the multiple layers of cultural masculinities. The text's manageable length makes it perfect for use as either a main text or supplement. Its accessible style and engaging approach are ideal for providing a solid understanding of the material and stimulating classroom discussion.
