It so adroitly sums up the state of play in a number of arenas: the contemporary UK economy and the future of work, current debates about gender and identity, the “crisis” of masculinity, and the emerging “problem” of white, working-class boys floundering to hold down jobs and identities that are increasingly ‘redundant’."
--Rosemary Pringle, Professor of Sociology, University of Southampton, UK
"Much has been written about the so-called 'crisis of masculinity' but rarely have its contours been charted in such as precise way and with such clear empathy for those at its cutting edge."
--Peter Jackson, University of Sheffield, UK
"I recommend , and sincerely hope, that this book is widely read, inside and outside academia." (Enviroment and Planning D: Society and Space)
"Linda McDowell has produced a highly readable and accessible book, packed with rich and original empirical data, and written with a lightness of touch that belies the complexity of the theoretical debates pulled together within it.Redundant Masculinitiescombines an impressive synthesis of contemporary theoretical debates and perspectives, with a thorough empirical methodology to produce a first-class piece of applied research." (Work, Employment and Society)
"McDowell offers a groundbreaking and often intensely sympathetic portrait of the ruptures and fragmentations of white, working class male hegemony under neoliberalism. Through deft use of narrative and analysis, she humanizes masculinity and masculine development in a manner heretofore rarely seen in sociological research." (Area 2005, vol 34/4)
