Masculinities, Care and Equality: Identity and Nurture in Men's Lives

by Niall Hanlon

Book Overview

This book explores men's ambiguous relationship with intimate caring work within a context where carefree and nurturing expectations for men are competing for influence. For men, to be more involved carers clashes with commonly valued expectations of them as men and this book analyses how men confront this contradictory expectation.
