"Men of the World brings together autobiographical reflections and memories on changing personal locations, contemporary empirical studies on major power processes, and up-to-date theoretical development. It considers the implications of debates on globalization for analyzing men, and the implications of debates on men and masculinities for globalization, transnational change and transnational patriarchies, as part of engagement and critique focused on the global North. Specific chapters address diverse transnational issues: transnational bodies and emotions in violence, violation and militarism ; transnational organizing across states, big business, global finance, and activism ; transnational movements in the environment, migration, and information and communication technologies and sexualities; and finally, challenges to the gender category of 'men'."--Provided by publisher.
