--Rosemary Pringle, Professor of Sociology, University of Southampton, UK
"Much has been written about the so-called 'crisis of
masculinity' but rarely have its contours been charted in such as
precise way and with such clear empathy for those at its cutting
edge."
--Peter Jackson, University of Sheffield, UK
"I recommend , and sincerely hope, that this book is widely
read, inside and outside academia." (Enviroment and Planning D:
Society and Space)
"Linda McDowell has produced a highly readable and accessible
book, packed with rich and original empirical data, and written
with a lightness of touch that belies the complexity of the
theoretical debates pulled together within it. Redundant
Masculinities combines an impressive synthesis of contemporary
theoretical debates and perspectives, with a thorough empirical
methodology to produce a first-class piece of applied research."
(Work, Employment and Society)
"McDowell offers a groundbreaking and often intensely sympathetic portrait of the ruptures and fragmentations of white, working class male hegemony under neoliberalism. Through deft use of narrative and analysis, she humanizes masculinity and masculine development in a manner heretofore rarely seen in sociological research." (Area 2005, vol 34/4)
