Informationen zum Autor Harry Christian is Lecturer at the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology, Keele University. Klappentext The idea of the "anti-sexist man" is often treated with scorn by feminists and hesitantly by men. People are suspicious and unsure about the whole idea. Based around interviews with eight men who have responded positively to feminism, this book provides the reader with the first full length discussion of anti-sexist male attitudes. THe interviewees tell their life stories, their `making' and reveal their differences to male chauvinists. Timely and sincere, The Making of Anti-Sexist Men will appeal to all those interested in changing oppressive gender attitudes and social structures. Zusammenfassung Based around eight interviews with men who have engaged with feminism, this book provides the first full account of anti-sexist male attitudes. It is essential reading for all those interested in changing society's oppressive gender attitudes.
