‘Though many blandly assert that gender is socially
constructed, few really understand how. In this insightful work,
Jennifer Coates takes us inside, deep inside, the construction of
masculinities and enables us to watch them in the process of their
construction, as men use language to create gendered meanings and
hierarchies, and are, in turn, made by those very meanings.’
Michael Kimmel, SUNY at Stony Brook and author of The Gendered
Society
‘Men Talk is the first in-depth study of all-male
conversations. Coates’s book takes a fresh look at the way in
which men's use of language helps to maintain, and sometimes
challenge, traditional gender boundaries.’ Sally Johnson,
Lancaster University
"Very readable, grounded in data, with the chapters very logically and clearly linked, providing a degree of overall coherence that is often missing in books of this kind...[the book contains a] wealth of detail and careful empirical analysis." Discourse and Society
