Klappentext Neoliberalism has had a radical impact on the lived, gendered experiences of people around the world. But while the gendered dimensions of neoliberalism have already received significant scholarly attention, the existing literature has given little consideration to men's identities and experiences. Building on the work of Cornwall and Lindisfarne's landmark text Dislocating Masculinity , this collection provides a fresh perspective on gender dynamics under neoliberalism.Bringing together a series of short, readable case studies drawn from new ethnographic fieldwork, its subjects range from the experiences of working-class men in Putin's Russia to colonial masculinities in Southern Rhodesia, and from young British Muslim men to amateur footballers in Jamaica. Vorwort Provides invaluable new insight into the impact of neoliberalism on masculinity, as well as the lived experiences of myriad men across the globe. Zusammenfassung Provides invaluable new insight into the impact of neoliberalism on masculinity, as well as the lived experiences of myriad men across the globe. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface 1.
