Changing Chinese Masculinities: From Imperial Pillars of State to Global Real Men
Synopsis:With contributions from a team of outstanding scholars, Changing Chinese Masculinities studies a range of Chinese men in diverse and, most importantly, Chinese contexts. It explores the fundamental meaning of manhood in the Chinese setting and the very notion of an indigenous Chinese masculinity. In twelve chapters spanning the late imperial period to the present day, this volume brings a much needed historical dimension to the discussion.
