Description: Looking at Men: Anatomy, Masculinity and the Modern Male Body
Looking back from the present, and towards an uncertain future, adds further troubling dimensions to the complex question of ideal masculinity – especially in the light of the rise of macho tyrant heads of state from Putin to Trump to Erdoğan and Kim Jong-un.
