Review: Peter Lehman (ed.). Masculinity: Bodies, Movies, Culture.

Abstract

In lieu of an abstract, here is the first paragraph of the article: 

Masculinity: Bodies, Movies, Culture is among the most recent contributions to the burgeoning field of masculinity studies. The point of departure for this collection edited by Peter Lehman, a pioneer in this area, is a sceptical view of this "masculine turn": although not entirely unexpected in our era of identity politics, the academic debate around masculinity has so far failed to sufficiently conceptualise, let alone "explain" it.
