ABSTRACT

This is a work that reflects the growing interest in issues relating to men and masculinities. This diverse collection by a team of contributors analyzes the composition and representation of masculine identities. Combining research with theory and strategies for activism, the work promotes practical ways of working with men to achieve change. Intentionally designed as a handbook, it provides effective and practical information for professionals in social welfare settings, trainers and activists in the community, as well as individual men who have their own personal agenda for change.
