Thomas Keith 
Masculinities in Contemporary American Culture [PDF ebook] 
An Intersectional Approach to the Complexities and Challenges of Male Identity

Masculinities in Contemporary American Culture offers readers a multidisciplinary, intersectional overview of masculinity studies that includes both theoretical and applied lenses. Keith combines current research with historical perspectives to demonstrate the contexts in which masculine identities have come evolved. With an emphasis on popular culture — particularly film, TV, video games, and music — this text invites students to examine their gendered sensibilities and discuss the ways in which different forms of media appeal to toxic masculinity.
