On Shifting Ground : Constructing Manhood on the Margins Hardback
by Jamie Fader
Part of the Gender and Justice series
Hardback
Description
On Shifting Ground examines how it is to become a man in a place and time defined by economic contraction and carceral expansion.
Jamie J. Fader draws on in-depth interviews with a racially diverse sample of Philadelphia's millennial men to analyze the key tensions that organize their lives: isolation versus connectedness, stability versus "drama," hope versus fear, and stigma and shame versus positive, masculine affirmation.
In the unfamiliar cultural landscape of contemporary adult masculinity, these men strive to define themselves in terms of what they can accomplish despite negative labels, as well as seeking to avoid "becoming a statistic" in the face of endemic risk.
