| Abstract | "The Forgotten Realities of Men explores the often-overlooked aspects of men's lives, set against the backdrop of shifting social norms, economic uncertainty, and the political upheaval of today's world. Driven by a genuine commitment to understanding, the contributors conduct in-depth research, ethnographic analyses, and interviews with men themselves to shed light on aspects of men's lived experiences that are often downplayed or ignored: childhood sexual abuse, family violence, teenaged fatherhood, infertility, emotional expression, isolation and depression, cultures of fear in sports, and controversial online communities. The Forgotten Realities of Men foregrounds the diverse circumstances that characterize men's lives, and in the process illuminates their impact on physical and mental health, family dynamics, professional responsibilities, intimate relationships, and personal identity. By challenging stereotypes and fostering respectful debate, this compassionate collection serves as a call for constructive conversations about contemporary masculinity and solutions to the most pressing issues facing men today. This work will be invaluable to scholars of men's and masculinity studies, gender studies, and social work, as well as to community organizations, social service providers, and policy-makers."-- Provided by publisher. |
