Recenzii

This book will make an extremely useful contribution to the growing debate on the politics and practice of including a focus on men and masculinities in gender and development policy and planning. With its rich, diverse and empirically grounded contributions, it should be widely read.
A thorough and thoughtful review of the state of affairs in studies of men and masculinities in development and a clear and systematic text every lecturer in gender and development will happily give as required readings to her students.
Cleaver has brought together a compelling set of articles that depict men as at once misunderstood, maligned, and at times resistant, but truly necessary partners in the development process. The more one reads, the more it becomes clear that men represent a critical, but largely untapped resource that must be engaged in partnership to achieve gender equality, reduction in poverty, to slow the spread of HIV/AIDS, and to curb the many forms of gender-based violence.
This much needed book poses serious and timely questions about the scope and purpose of gender and development theory and practice. Its wide range of case studies from different geographical and social contexts illustrates the complexity and urgency of issues around men, gender and development, and demonstrates the strength of an analysis which is both contextually embedded and linked in with global structures and issues.
Composed of a number of essays by academicians and policy workers and designed to stimulate dialogue between these two groups, the book provides for an array of approaches ranging from the densely theoretical to the pragmatic.
