A compelling expose of the truth behind society's racial and sexual stereotypes of black men, this book offers a wide historical perspective and insights into such recent racially charged events as the Clarence Thomas hearings, the O.J. Simpson trial, and the Million Man March. Hutchinson brilliantly counters the image of black men as a population entrenched in crime, drugs, and violence.

This book discusses how masculinity is represented by women poets and gay poets - but, most of all, how it is represented by straight male poets. It shows how Robert Lowell and John Berryman both identify a gender malaise in themselves which they struggle with throughout their careers, and how Derek Walcott displays a profound gender insecurity in relation to the colonial experience. It discusses the impact on Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney of their belief in a transcendent feminine principle, and how C.K. Williams and Paul Muldoon display the impact of feminism on male poets who are young enough to have encountered it at a formative period.

What does it mean to be a man? What does it mean to be manly? How has our notion of masculinity changed over the years? In this book, noted historian George L. Mosse provides the first historical account of the masculine stereotype in modern Western culture, tracing the evolution of the idea of manliness to reveal how it came to embody physical beauty, courage, moral restraint, and a strong will. This stereotype, he finds, originated in the tumultuous changes of the eighteenth century, as Europe's dominant aristocrats grudgingly yielded to the rise of the professional, bureaucratic, and commercial middle classes. Mosse reveals how the new bourgeoisie, faced with a bewildering, rapidly industrialized world, latched onto the knightly ideal of chivalry. He also shows how the rise of universal conscription created a "soldierly man" as an ideal type. In bringing his examination up to the present, Mosse studies the key historical roles of the so-called "fairer sex" (women) and "unmanly men" (Jews and homosexuals) in defining and maintaining the male stereotype, and considers the possible erosion of that stereotype in our own time.

A man's image is one of his most alluring characteristics. In Restoring the Male Image.A Look From the Inside Out, Ellis aims to restore the pride of men looking back to the Harlem Renaissance Era when men dressed with a sense of purpose and dignity. A man's image is defined by the blend of character, style, and sophistication. It is his heart, his purpose and God-given authority that most accurately reflects his true self. Ellis introduces the reader to a powerful acronym by exploring a series of qualities to help men identify and understand their IMAGE: I=Integrity; M=Manhood; A=Authority; G=Generosity; E= Excellence. This book will provoke men to take a deeper look both inside and out and determine whether what they convey is a reflection of their authentic self. Restoring the Male Image will challenge men to arise and confidently dress for their appointment with destiny! Alexis Ellis is driven to impact image in our society. Ellis holds a Masters in Theology, with a concentration in Urban Ministry from New Brunswick Theological Seminary as well as a M.S. Degree in Industrial Engineering from North Carolina A&T State University. Hailing from New Jersey, he serves as a mentor for the "Boys to Men" Program, and is a Chaplain for the New Brunswick Fire Department. Ellis also serves as the Assistant to Bishop George C. Searight of Abundant Life Family Worship Center in New Brunswick, New Jersey and is the Special Events Coordinator.

Rhetoric of Masculinity: Male Body Image, Media, and Gender Role Stress/Conflict lends depth and global nuance to discourse associated with the masculinity concept as it brings to bear on males' self-image, role in society, media representations of them, and the gender role stress/conflict experienced when they fail to measure up to social standards associated with what it means to be manly. Even though the concept of masculine gender role stress/conflict has received substantial scholarly attention in psychology, social learning effects of masculinity as it plays out in media warrant further study given that representations offer audiences restrictive male gender roles that may contribute to toxic masculinity. Men and boys are taught to be self-sufficient, to act tough, to be muscular, heterosexual, and to use aggression to resolve conflicts. Such contexts provide restrictive images that can result in self harm and an inflexible social milieu. Scholars and students of communication, rhetoric, and gender studies will find this book particularly interesting.
