description: Behind the hackneyed icon of the Kiwi Bloke with all its connotations of black singlets, muddy gumboots and Number 8 fencing wire, there are many different kinds of men and many different types of masculinity on New Zealand. In the last ten years, social scientists have begun to explore how societies have come to define what it means to 'be a man and how this definition changes over time. Masculinities in Aotearoa/New Zealand is the first interdisciplinary collection in New Zealand on this emerging topic, bringing together authors from the disciplines of anthropology, geography, women's studies, education, history and media studies. This book will appeal to a wide range of readers, from the general reader who wants to look behind the stereotypical mythology of the bloke, to students at university and college seeking a guide to current research on masculinities.
