Punctuated with powerful artistic depictions and introspective cartoons grappling with constructed maleness Jay Sennett’s Self Organizing Men breaks new ground bringing together a diverse group of artists, authors, and performers to explore the complexities of masculinity and maleness. Self Organizing Men pays particular attention to the diversity of experiences across borders of gender, sexuality, race, ability, and class and how those social locations and lived experiences shape and transform the lives and identities of contributors, and our culture at large. Injected with a visible feminist consciousness, Self Organizing Men challenges dominant ideologies of maleness, providing a reconceptualization and challenge to the notions of privilege, patriarchy, and the inadequacies of the gender binary. This is an ideal book for anyone interested in gender studies, men’s studies, feminist studies, queer studies, or constructed masculinity.
