Manhood in the Making: Cultural Concepts of Masculinity

Manhood in the Making: Cultural Concepts of Masculinity

What does it mean to "be a man" in different cultures around the world? In the first cross-cultural study of manhood as an achieved status, anthropologist David D. Gilmore finds that a culturally sanctioned stress on manlinessâ€”on toughness and aggressiveness, stoicism and sexualityâ€”is almost universal, deeply ingrained in the consciousness of hunters and fishermen, workers and warriors, poets and peasants who have little else in common.
