Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Misframing Men,' a collection of Michael Kimmel's commentaries on contemporary debates about masculinity, argues that the media have largely misframed this debate. Kimmel, among the world's best-known scholars in gender studies, discusses political moments, takes on antifeminists as the real male bashers, questions the unsubstantiated assertions that men suffer from domestic violence to the same degree as women, and examines the claims made by those who want to rescue boys from the 'misandrous' reforms initiated by feminism. In writings both solidly grounded and forcefully argued, he pushes the boundaries of today's modern conversation about men and masculinity.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What do community organizations and organizers do, and what should they do For the past thirty years politicians, academics, advocates, and activists have heralded community as a site and strategy for social change. In contrast, 'Contesting Community' paints a more critical picture of community work which, according to the authors--in both theory and practice--has amounted to less than the sum of its parts. Their comparative study of efforts in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada describes and analyzes the limits and potential of this work.
