Global Masculinities |
| Description: |

Author analyzes texts by Herman Melville, Ernest Hemingway, Martha Gellhorn, Frederick Douglass, and James Baldwin. |
| Synopsis: |
Inverting the traditional focus of ethnic studies on blackness as the object of scrutiny, Masculinities in Black and White explores dominant forms of white masculinity as seen by African American authors placed alongside certain white writers. Josep M. Armengol explores white masculinities in the plural, showing their intricate, porous, and often ambiguous representations in the fiction of five American authors, black and white, male and female, gay and straight. The analysis of white masculinities from such multiple racial, gendered, and sexual angles seeks to provide a more complex and multifaceted view on the subject. |
