Abstract

Researchers are beginning to incorporate racial dynamics into their analyses of men and masculinity. Several scholars have asserted that the disciplines of ethnicity and masculinity are inextricably linked; these include Michael Awkward, Robyn Wiegman, Alfredo Mirandé, and Mrinalini Sinha. The idea of masculinities is also influenced by critical ethnic studies, a field that emerged in the United States in the 1970s and demonstrated the centrality of race to our social and political lives.

The field of masculinity studies has been active in the United States for the better part of three decades, thanks largely to the influence of feminism, homosexual studies, and ethnic studies. In contrast to more traditional disciplines of study like women's studies, however, the field of masculinity studies is still in its infancy (Brod). Although several of the most progressive universities in the United States, including Berkeley, started offering courses on masculinities as early as the 1970s, the field of masculinity studies did not truly take off until the 1990s. Because of these analyses, a critical theory has emerged that actively advocates for women's rights and gender parity in the workplace (Judith Newton).
