abstract
Book Reviews about the" oppression" of men (by feminism or by patriarchy) or confirming our assumption that masculinity" is a single monolithic category... simply, unambiguously, essentially evil"(Pfeil, viii). The editors of Constructing Masculinity begin by asking," Can masculinity be rehearsed in a way that alters its ideological boundaries? In other words can masculinity be performed so as to render it less repressive, less tyrannical?"(5).
