masculinity

Presents tools and strategies to help boys break free of violence, learn how to deal in a positive way with their emotions, and determine for themselves what it means to be a man.

This book seeks to lay bare the many pressures being exerted upon teen males to develop into a socially acceptable type of manhood.

Explores how young men are influenced by the other males they are surrounded with, drawing on interviews with sixteen- to twenty-six-year-old men to determine how a man's beliefs, actions, attitudes, and self-image are influenced by the males they surround themselves with as they enter adulthood.
