This book explores the ways in which neoliberal capitalism has reshaped the lives of working-class men around the world. The book presents a range of international studies—from the US, UK, and Australia to Western and Northern Europe, Russia, and Nigeria—that move beyond discourses positing a ‘masculinity crisis’ or pathologizing working-class men.
