Flesh and Blood: Adolescent Gender Diversity and Violence

by James W. Messerschmidt and Raewyn W. Connell

Book Overview

This book provides a unique conceptualization of: 1) embodiment as a lived aspect of gender, 2) how masculine practices may be constructed by both boys and girls, 3) how such embodied social actions are related to violence and nonviolence, and 4) the fallacy of the mind-body, sex-gender, and gender difference binaries.
