4.0 out of 5 stars a serious, fully researched, insightful analysis, June 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gender and Power: Society, the Person, and Sexual Politics (Paperback)

The book is highly readable, but it is most impressive in its suggestiveness -- repeatedly Connell identifies new avenues, new ways of looking at old issues, new discourses. There is nothing of the old repetitive pseudo-Jungian talk, and his explorations of new paths of males are very perceptive. After reading this book, the reader THINKS.
