Each chapter mines American popular culture-theatre, film, literature, music, advertising, internet content, television, photography, and current events-to pose questions about the process of gender creation and the contestation of masculinities as constantly changing political forms. The first section explores masculinities within late capitalism and includes studies of Seinfeld, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and reality television. The second section addresses identity when masculinity intersects with race, religion, disability, and sexuality, including chapters on Barack Obama, the O.J. trial, and popular movies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701386838304,"sku":"NEW0253222702","price":28.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61cLKLPbf3L.jpg?v=1779387119","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/performing-american-masculinities-the-21st-century-man-in-popular-culture-0253222702","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
