A Man's World: How Real Is Male Privilege-And How High Is Its Price?

Are men really under siege in today's society? Ellis Cose reports on the
discontent and confusion men are feeling as changing gender roles and
expectations challenge the very core of male identity. As Cose makes
clear in A Man's World, white men are not the only males feeling
vulnerable and off balance. Black men are considered a pathologically
dangerous and endangered species. Latinos are told that their culture is
irredeemably sexist. Whatever their class or ethnicity, men are being
held to a very different standard - socially and sexually - than were
their counterparts of a generation ago. Many fear that their rights and
roles are shrinking before their eyes. Using the combination of
interviews, reportage and analysis that distinguished his critically
acclaimed The Rage of a Privileged Class, Ellis Cose investigates this
growing problem and puts it into context, providing men and women with a
reasoned and informative guide to navigating an increasingly
bewildering world.
