Popis: This review essay examines three new books in masculinities studies. It also provides a mapping of the field as it has changed over the past twenty years, exploring how our understanding of masculinity has changed with recent developments in trans, intersex, and queer theory and activism. How does the field change in response to changing conceptions of gender in the present? The review provides a provisional answer to this question. Three recent books on masculinity in US culture provide an opportunity to examine how much the field of masculinities studies has kept up with changing frameworks around gender and embodiment in the present.
