Reviewing the current state of knowledge on men and masculinities in II European countries, this book emphasizes both the differences and the similarities between them. Drawn upon are the outcomes of a recently completed study undertaken by the European Commission-funded Critical Research Network on Men in Europe. Contributions by some of Europe's leading scholars in the field are included, and special emphasis is placed on four key themes--home and work, social exclusion, violence, and health. A particular focus on the fundamental changes taking place in central and eastern Europe in the postsocialist period is provided, and questions of politics and ethnicity in contemporary Europe are addressed.
