"A Man's World represents an important turning point in the development of studies of men's practices. It clearly places these studies within a global and a comparative framework, an approach which highlights both diversities and commonalities. A wide number of topics are covered, including violence, fatherhood and health, and the analysis ranges over ten different countries as well as providing critical assessment of the increasingly global context. Such an approach also allows for a balanced assessment of oppositional practices on the part of different men's groups in several contrasting parts of the world. This is a lively, up-beat and readily accessible collection which should inform both theory and practice in the years to come"
