Reviews

Men and Masculinities in Contemporary Japan is a challenging collection that endeavors to deconstruct Japanese 'dominant masculine doxa [taken-for-grantedness]'...in terms of the variety of topics and the abundant ethnographic data on various types of men, this book is one of the groundbreaking works in the field of Japanese men and masculinities. --Men and Masculinities, Vol 9 No 1, July 2006
