Recenzii

More than twenty years after its first edition, this book brings reflections that are still relevant in the contemporary context. Essential reading for all those who are interested in learning more about men and their masculinities. - Marcos Nascimento, Men Engage Network and Instituto Fernandes Figueira, Fiocruz, Brazil
Dislocating Masculinity was a landmark publication that contributed to a then small, but growing, body of scholarship on men and masculinities. This new edition is needed now more than ever in our deeply divided times. Dislocating Masculinities will once again inspire scholars to think carefully and critically about the diversity of men and masculinities. - Jonathan Allan, Canada Research Chair in Queer Theory and Associate Professor in Gender and Women’s Studies and English and Creative Writing at Brandon University, Canada
The publication of Dislocating Masculinity opened an entirely novel field of anthropological enquiry, and this edited collection continues to set the intellectual agenda for the cross-cultural exploration and theorization of gender relations. - Filippo Osella, Professor of Anthropology and South Asian Studies, School of Global Studies, University of Sussex
Dislocating Masculinity is a ground-breakinginterrogation of the social practices and categories of men and masculinities, highlighting their diverse, shifting, and contingent organisation and meaning through both insightful analysis and rich case studies. – Dr Michael Flood, Associate Professor  in Sociology and an ARC Future Fellow (2015 - 2018), Wollongong University, Australia
Excellent ... It is sure to arouse a good deal of interest, particularly in the new men's studies field, as well as the established one of women's/gender studies -Pat Caplan, University of London
A timely volume with an important introduction by the editors which will set the terms of the debate on issues of men and masculinity for some time to come. -Sherry B. Ortner, University of Michigan
