Review

'Offering new insights into the relational connections between masculinities and place, this impressive collection of essays shows how spatial thinking has the potential to destabilise the power hierarchies that inhere within contemporary gender relations. Exploring the intersection of gender and generation, ethnicity and religion, sexuality and space, Masculinities and Place charts an exciting agenda for transformative social change.'Peter Jackson, University of Sheffield, UK'This book is evidence of how far the field of masculinities has advanced in recent years. The editors draw together a fantastic array of research from emerging and established scholars. Chapters, many informed by feminism, address topics such as migration, home, family, health and work. This is a must read for anyone interested in gender inequity, social power, identity and space.' Robyn Longhurst, University of Waikato, NZ
