Perseus Academic: No Man's Land by Kathleen Gerson

[An] erudite and scholarly sociological treatise.
— New York Times Book Review

There is no one kind of man, Kathleen Gerson tells us in her important new book No Man’s Land, but many different ones.… This is a wonderful, searching, careful, brave book that captures the quirky ties between a man’s opportunities and his identity. Gerson respects the complexity of what she’s trying to explain. The book is must reading for men and women alike.
— Arlie Hochschild, author of The Second Shift: Working Parents and the Revolution at Home

It is rare for sociologists to write books that are as lucid and accessible as Kathleen Gerson’s No Man’s Land.… Without relying on jargon or ponderous conceptual baggage, Gerson 'sneaks in' convincing theoretical interpretations … [No Man’s Land] has the potential to appeal to a wide readership and to influence national debates.
— Contemporary Sociology

Gerson buries the narcissism and hormonal determinism of many previous books on the ‘men’s movement’ and brings the discussion back to the real world.
