The (In)Visibility of Men in the U.S.-American Quilt World : Selected Popular Quilt Fiction Hardback
by Rita Rueß-Stoll
Hardback
Description
This book investigates men and quiltmaking, an under-researched part of theU.S.-American quilt world.
It analyzes the connection between the genderedness ofmaterial practice and White masculinity concepts in the U.S.-American mainstream. The examination of the construct of masculinity in two quilt novel series from the2010s aims to answer the question of whether the characters’ attitudes towardsquiltmaking and quilts as objects provide information about change in heterosexualgender relations and whether the fictional masculinities in Wanda E.
Brunstetter’s orAnn Hazelwood’s novels promote new approaches to manhood.
Due to the paucity ofscholarly work on contemporary quilt fiction, this book also contributes to the studyof a hybrid genre.
