Synopsis

Here is a stunning new book that succeeds in doing nothing less than chronicling the social transformation of masculinity over a three-decade span. Through thematically arranged essays by leading experts, Voice Male illustrates how a growing movement of men is redefining masculinity.

Emerging from below the radar of an inobservant media is a growing movement of men who have embraced feminism as the basis to create a new, healthy masculinity. In this collection, longtime editor of Voice Male magazine Rob Okun directs a chorus of pro-feminist voices, introducing readers to men examining contemporary manhood from a variety of perspectives: from overcoming violence, fatherhood, and navigating life as a man of color, a gay man, or a boy on the journey to manhood. It also provides a critical forum for both male survivors and GBTQ men to speak out.

Far from being the end of men as some would have it, Voice Male presents the script for men s second act, a time when words like compassionate and nurturing describe men as accurately as do competitive and isolated. This inspired book is evidence of a new direction for men, brightly illuminating what s around the bend on the path to gender justice.
