Manhood in the Making: Cultural Concepts of Masculinity
David D. Gilmore
What does it mean to "be a man" in different cultures around the world?
"Absorbing, well-argued, and finely written."—Nicola Shulman, Sunday Times, London
In the first cross-cultural study of manhood as an achieved status, anthropologist David D. Gilmore finds that a culturally sanctioned stress on manliness—on toughness and aggressiveness, stoicism and sexuality—is almost universal, deeply ingrained in the consciousness of hunters and fishermen, workers and warriors, poets and peasants who have little else in common.
