The New Men Of Power

When C. Wright Mills published The New Men of Power in 1948, he thought labor leaders a new strategic elite and the unions a set of vanguard organizations that were crucial to "stopping the main drift towards war and slump." Today, as the unions once again seek to play a decisive role in American life, Mills' remarkable probe into the structure and ideology of mid-twentieth-century trade unionism remains essential reading. A new introduction by historian Nelson Lichtenstein offers insight into the Millsian political world at the time he wrote The New Men of Power.

Annotation Explores the new politics of masculinity and gender identity, examining the contemporary discourses of masculinity by focusing on male pro-feminist movements and locating them within the context of feminist debates.

If there is any one concept that stirs the passions and actions of men as a gender, power is the most likely candidate. Seldom is powerlessness a preferred or admired quality in a man. Yet power can be both a beacon-to direct action and maintain order-and a plague-if frustratingly unattainable, or glamorized and abused. In the field of men's studies, where men and women examine how gender organizes action and thought, the role of power may never be settled. How are men raised to relate to power and what are the consequences? Is power assumed by virtue of genetics and biology, is it culturally conferred, or is it merely an illusion? Does the belief that men are powerful serve a political agenda? Do males experience power differently when viewed psychologically as opposed to power in a social setting? By keeping control of power, have men failed at the leadership demanded of those who possess power? What is healthy power for men? How do women interpret power? How does the male perception of power lead to violent tendencies in some men? These questions and many more are examined in Men and Power by leading experts in the field of gender identity. The purpose of this inquiry is to move beyond the glib resignation that power corrupts, to more precisely identify what men can do to transform their quest for power into a healthy benefit to the individual, to relationships, and to society. Compelling topics such as sexuality, intimacy, equity, male identity, pornography, and many others are explored in detail. Contributors are Blye Frank, Walter Isaac, Michael Kaufman, Christopher Kendall, Michael S. Kimmel, John Stoltenberg, Laurence Thomas, Clark Wolf, and Bert Young.
