Men of the World will be seized upon by academics and activists facing
up to the persistence, proliferation and transnationalization of
patriarchies. - Cynthia Cockburn, City University, London and
University of Warwick "This is an important, thought-provoking and
incredibly timely book from one of the leading scholars in the field
of men and masculinities. I cannot praise this wonderful book highly
enough." - Richard Collier, Newcastle University "In this lively and
engaging new book, Hearn looks back over nearly 40 years in
feminist-framed studies of men and masculinities, and also forward to
the futuristic scenarios through which gender power is currently
evolving in transpatriarchal contexts." - Terrell Carver, University
of Bristol What have men and globalization got to do with each other?
How are men shaping and being shaped by globalization? How is
globalization gendered? Why do many books on globalization fail to
discuss gender relations? And why do many of those that do omit an
explicit and developed analysis of men and gender relations? Men of
the World brings together autobiographical reflections and memories on
changing personal locations, contemporary empirical studies on major
power processes, and up to date theoretical development. It considers
the implications of debates on globalization for analyzing men, and
the implications of debates on men and masculinities for
globalization, transnational change and transnational patriarchies, as
part of engagement and critique focused on the global North. Specific
chapters address diverse transnational issues: transnational bodies
and emotions in violence, violation and militarism; transnational
organizing across states, big business, global finance, and activism;
transnational movements in the environment, migration, and information
and communication technologies and sexualities; and finally,
challenges to the gender category of ′men′. An essential read for
students and researchers of gender, sexuality,
masculinity, intersectionality, and globalization across the social
sciences. Jeff Hearn is Guest Faculty Research Professor, Gender
Studies, Örebro University, Sweden; Professor of Management and
Organization, Hanken School of Economics, Finland; Professor of
Sociology, University of Huddersfield, UK.
