"Bowman and Filar offer a book that looks closely at issues across masculinities and delves into intersections that are important in today’s college setting. In exploring the topic, they engage the diversity among men, including race and ethnicity, country of origin, sexuality, class, achievement, and service to country. They examine the issues that men face in terms of masculinity through many lenses, providing spotlights that highlight key issues and populations. In doing so, Bowman and Filar create a highly usable book that students will find accessible and relevant to their daily lives."—From the Series Editor Introduction by Marybeth Gasman and Nelson Bowman III
