Description

"This book, which explores the social construction of one of the major health problems facing men in modern America, proposes that, far from being immutable, medical categorizations of men prone to heart attacks rely heavily on cultural stereotypes of masculinity. Elianne Riska traces the course of sociological and gender theory on men and masculinities and argues that we must look beyond the middle-class male paradigm to consider the nuances of race, class, and sexual orientation."--BOOK JACKET.
