Men's Experiences of Violence in Intimate Relationships
This open access book draws on a broad study on violence against men, from both male and female partners in Norway, to contribute to the research on intimate partner violence. It identifies similarities in men's experiences and backgrounds, including in their perceptions of their own victimisation. Marianne Inez Lien and Jørgen Lorentzen argue that the traditional gender power model should be modified and supplemented, and propose that we consider violence in terms of psychological supremacy, rather than in terms of femininity and masculinity. Men's Experiences of Violence in Intimate Relationships will appeal to students and scholars across a range of areas including criminology, sociology and family violence, and gender studies.
The Palgrave Handbook of African Men and Masculinities
This handbook provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary overview of key theoretical and analytical approaches, topics and debates in contemporary scholarship on African masculinities. Refusing to privilege Western theoretical constructs (but remaining in dialogue with them), contributors explore the contestations around and diversities within men, masculinities and sexualities in Africa; investigate individual and collective practices of masculinity; and interrogate the social construction of masculinities. Bringing together insights from scholars across gender studies, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, history, literature and religion, this book demonstrates how recognizing and upholdi...

Reven
“Et velformulert og viktig angrep på et norsk glansbilde.” – Frank Rossavik, Førdebiograf og Brageprisvinner 2007 I alle år har vi hørt at Olav Thon kom fra små kår og startet med to reveskinn. Aviser og ukeblader formidler stadig at han er opptatt av naturen og lever et nøkternt liv preget av havregraut og fjellturer. I mellomtiden får Olav Thon uforstyrret omskape Norge på en måte som er stikk i strid med hans asketiske selvbilde. Ingen har noen gang utfordret ham på historien om hvordan han bygde sitt imperium. Dag Ellingsen går bak Thons selvproduserte myte. Han forteller om pelshandel i krigstidens Norge og om hvordan Thon bestakk tollere og ble dømt for korrupsjon. Videre undersøker forfatteren hvordan Thon endret store deler av eiendomsmarkedet gjennom dristige – og tidvis hardhendte – grep med utvikling av forretningsgårder i byer og tettsteder landet rundt. Sporene følges fram til Olav Thons forretningsimperium av i dag.

Still a Man's World
Men who do "women's work" have consistently been the butt of jokes, derided for their lack of drive and masculinity. In this eye-opening study, Christine Williams provides a wholly new look at men who work in predominantly female jobs. Having conducted extensive interviews in four cities, Williams uncovers how men in four occupations—nursing, elementary school teaching, librarianship, and social work—think about themselves and experience their work. Contrary to popular imagery, men in traditionally female occupations do not define themselves differently from men in more traditional occupations. Williams finds that most embrace conventional, masculine values. Her findings about how these ...

Security Management for Sports and Special Events
Though spectator and player security has always been a priority for sport and facility managers at all levels, large-scale threats such as terrorism or natural disasters have become even more critical management concerns.

Unlike traditional risk management books that present guidelines to prom...
