Product Description
This book is perfect as a supplement in a variety of classes, particularly in gender studies. Taking as a starting point several key questions -- including how men are socialized in this country -- Franklin offers a penetrating analysis of male issues in American life. He examines how gender identity is formed, explores the biological aspects of gender, shows why men assume many roles, and discusses sex stereotypes. He uses three sociological methodologies -- structural-functional, conflict, and symbolic interaction -- to analyze various definitions of "masculine," and to consider ways in which men might altar constricting patterns of interaction.
