Male roles, masculinities and violence: a culture of peace perspective

This book is based on the first international discussion of the connections between men and masculinity, on the one hand, and peace and war, on the other. It addresses issues that are of great importance in the building of a culture of peace, but which, until very recently, have been marginalized or ignored. The chapters in this book discuss not only the existing connections between masculinities and violence, but also practical questions about how
masculinities can change in ways favourable to peace and how peacemaking strategies should handle questions about masculinities.
