This is the first book to examine the psyche of the Jamaican man from the aspect of Masculine Gender Role Stress. Before this work, the concept of Masculine Gender Role Stress has never before been employed to analyse the behaviour and thinking of the Jamaican man. The author conducted detailed research which showed that many Jamaican men were undergoing high rates of Masculine Gender Role Stress. The uniqueness of this book concerns the fact that finally an explanation has been put forward to account for behavoiurs that are often talked about, but never studied from a perspective that yielded valuable explanations.
