The reader, whether a professional health care worker, researcher, clinician, or concerned individual, will obtain a clearer perspective on the connections between mens health and gender, along with a broader conceptualization of the experiences of men in contemporary society. --Choice Mens Health and Illness contextualizes mens health issues within the broader theoretical framework of the new mens studies. This framework focuses on the profound influence of gender on social life and individual experience. The editors and chapter contributors of this groundbreaking volume argue that gender is a key factor for understanding the patterns of mens health risks, the ways men perceive and use their bodies, and mens psychological adjustment to illness itself. Part I introduces readers to mens studies perspectives and explains their relevance for understanding mens health. Part II explores the linkages between traditional gender roles, mens health, and larger structural and cultural contexts, and Part III examines the implications of multiple masculinities for health issues. The scope of this volume is both multidisciplinary and international. The authors use quantitative and qualitative research methodologies which provide a well-rounded analysis of the subject matter. Taken collectively, the contributions to Mens Health and Illness reflect current efforts by mens studies practitioners to develop theoretical explanations of mens lives that also refer to the influences of class, race, ethnicity, sexual preference, and age. This collaborative effort in presenting research and theories is so significant that it should become part of the literature studied by advocates of womens studies and mens studies. The reader, whether professional healthcare worker, researcher, clinician, or concerned individual will obtain a clearer perspective on the connections between mens health and gender, along with a broader conceptualization of the experiences of men in contemporary society.
