Jeffrey Montez de Oca, University of Colorado 'A compassionate dialogue with men in the American heartland, this is a book that links place, history, storied narratives, and impassioned sense of identity to deeply felt and emotionally complex convictions about whiteness, gun ownership, masculinity, home, heteronormativity, and family. This is a book that needs reading in these urgent and polarizing times.' Sarah de Leeuw, University of Northern British Columbia
