Reviews
Marked Men: White Masculinity in Crisis is an intelligent, wide-ranging, clearly argued and thoroughly femnist book about the shifting meanings of dominant masculinity in American culture...Robinson makes appropriate but not heavy-handed use of other theorists and literary critics, often developing their insights in original directions...Robinson is an astute critic of cultural images. -- Judith Kegan Gardiner The Women's Review of Books White men have it all, except the hardship of having to live in a world dominated by white men. Sally Robinson argues, with shocking originality... that they now want that too: Through victimization, we find the tensions that make us most alive. -- Jonathon Keats San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle Book Review
