Male Roles, Masculinities and Violence: A Culture of Peace Perspective Crucial questions on the connections between men and masculinity on the one hand and peace and war on the other have, until now, rarely been tackled. |
From case-studies to social-scientific research on the connections of traditional masculinity and patriarchy to violence and peace-buidling, the book contests the far-too-frequent views in the socialization of boy-children that aggressiveness, violence and force are an acceptable means of expression and could contribute to sustainable solutions to conflicts. The initiatives here expressed point towards an exciting gender-balanced, post-patriarcal society for the present millennium.
