520 |a This book aims to provide different, varied and sometimes even conflicting perspectives on masculinity and whiteness. Like black masculinity itself, which has been shown to vary throughout different cultural and historical locations, white masculinity is also analyzed here a shifting and often even contradictory construction. Indeed, rather than white masculinity, this study is concerned with exploring white masculinities in the plural, showing their intricate, porous and often ambiguous representations in the fiction of five American authors, black and white, male and female, gay and straight. The analysis of white masculinities from such multiple racial, gendered and sexual angles seeks to provide a more complex and multifaceted view on the subject.
