Masculinity Studies

Here are some popular press books for studying masculinity, with links to Amazon (not promoting them, but they are a handy resource of information). Be sure to purchase the required book and select two others from the list--first come first served. You can suggest alternate titles, but I will want some information on them to approve them.
