Houdini, Tarzan, and the Perfect Man
The White Male Body and the Challenge of Modernity in America
John F. Kasson
Hill and Wang
"
Houdini, Tarzan, and the Perfect Man,
like much of Kasson's earlier work, makes an important scholarly contribution and has great potential for classroom use. He engages an important subject about which most readers know something and peels back layer upon layer of meaning to reveal a complex social world of individuals, dreams, anxieties, and action . . . The result is a fine cultural history of masculinity . . . by examining turn-of-the-century masculine ideals and images and by reflecting on the ways social and cultural change shaped men's attitudes toward their bodies, fired their imaginations, and inflamed deep-seated anxieties. Kasson's study is not merely about the ideal of manly strength, survival, and resistance—it is about the multivalent performance of identity."—

Growing Up Fast
Joanna Lipper
Picador
"In nearly 400 fast-paced pages of wonderfully evocative prose, much of it in the words of her six subjects, all teen mothers, Lipper has actually conveyed the social and personal history of a growing class of Americans for whom there is little help and less hope. But [these] people [possess] inner lives, and this is what Lipper is so deft at communicating . . . [Her book] will burden the conscience of its readers."—
