Fathers, Preachers, Rebels, Men

Although most historians now accept feminist scholars' insistence that women's experiences in the past were shaped by their gender, the study of the ways men's experiences were similarly shaped by gender—the study of masculinity—is still considered by many to be a niche field. The first historians to accept the challenge of unpacking American masculinity in the 1980s and 1990s tended to take the white, northern, middle-class male experience to be representative of men as a whole. So, just as historians have recently emphasized the diverse experiences of American women, others have challenged the singular concept of “masculinity” and have pointed to the range of masculinities that have existed in the past and that often challenged the (white) hegemonic ideal of what it meant to be a “man.” Fathers, Preachers, Rebels, Men is one of many edited collections in recent years that attempt to bring together the fascinating work being done in this growing field
