Masculinities

Sinopse

"I want to ... look at all the varied ways people are taught what is means to be a man, and where they found resistance, examples of other ways to be. I focused on role models - asking about role models - even if they were problematic role models - if they showed even a small way out, a glimpse that something else was possible."--First unnumbered page Cindy Crabb interviews seven men about what it means to be a man, how they were taught to be men, and how they subvert masculinity in grand and subtle ways. Cindy intersperses the intimate interviews with prose poems that explore ideas of identity, gender, and race.
