The book explores hegemonic masculinity and its portrayal in literature, culture, and film, highlighting the paradox of white heterosexual masculinity's dominance yet invisibility in gender discussions. The initial chapters provide theoretical insights into white masculinities, while subsequent chapters apply masculinity theory to examine social constructions and cultural representations. Key themes include men's emotions, new models of fatherhood, male friendships, and the impact of gender-based violence, offering a comprehensive analysis of contemporary masculinity.
