Manhood in America
by Michael Kimmel
In a time when psychologists are rediscovering Darwin, and much of our social behavioral is being reduced to ancient, hard-wired patterns, Michael Kimmel's history of manhood in America comes as a much needed reminder that our behavior as men and women is anything but stable and fixed. Kimmel's authoritative, entertaining, and wide-ranging history of men in America demonstrates that manhood has meant very different things in different eras. Drawing on advice books, magazines, political pamphlets, and popular novels and films, he makes two surprising claims: First, manhood is homosocial - that is, men need to prove themselves to each other, not to women. Second, definitions of manliness have evolved in response to women's movements. When women act, men react. Originally, manliness was an internal virtue and a democratic ideal - British men were viewed as fops, and American men had to be independent, honest, and responsible. By the 1890s, however, manhood changed to masculinity, something that had to be constantly proven through the new explosion of sports, fraternities, and fashion. Finally, in 1936, Lewis Terman, the creator of the IQ test, developed an "M-F" test to analyze adolescents' masculinity and femininity. Until well into the 1960s, the test penalized boys who preferred to draw flowers instead of forests, or who knew that a teacup was used for drinking tea. But just as Terman's categories and questions seem outdated to us, so will our own standards seem temporary to our successors.

The Will to Change
by bell hooks
In a thought-provoking social and cultural analysis, the author of All About Love explores the world of masculinity and maleness to address some of men's most common concerns, including a fear of intimacy and the loss of their patriarchal place in society, arguing that an emotionally rewarding inner life holds the key to successful intimate relationships.
Men at Work
by Chris Frey
Written for men who have experienced emotional trauma and want to ease the pain, this book contains practical, action-oriented strategies for understanding and coping. For some, healing may mean confronting the past; for others it may mean analyzing thoughts and feelings; and for still others it may mean looking forward to the future. Whatever the focus, within the pages of this book, the reader will find opportunities to revive the spirit, reclaim a passion for life, and more fully experience the excitement and uncertainty of each moment. This book will also help therapists who are working with men and those who want to better understand a loved one. Men at Work offers a process for men to move beyond silence, beyond intellect, and beyond catharsis, into the resolution of trauma.
