Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
Masculinities Without Men? is a richly theoretical text, explicating intricate socio-cultural phenomena with meticulous finesse. It approaches important literary and filmic texts and key areas of gender and sexuality studies in a thoughtful manner. Its thorough theoretical context makes it an important resource for scholars invested in gender theory. Jean Bobby Noble is clearly in the process of staking out a provocative and cutting-edge terrain within gender studies. -- Aubrey Hanson and Kit Dobson * Canadian Woman Studies, Winter/Spring 2005 * Attentive to the detailed narrative work of prose fiction writers and the interpretive responses they provoke, Noble engages complex masculinities with analytical subtlety and ethical sensitivity ... Masculinities Without Men? provides openings through which to envision gender transformations as mutually constitutive, without denying their respective struggles and integrities. It is here that this book provides a bridge between queer studies, gender studies and feminist studies that is extremely valuable -- Susan Driver * TOPIA 15, July 2006 * Read more...
