<p>â<i>Political Masculinity</i> is an intelligent and urgently needed book on the global rise of misogyny, anti-feminism and toxic masculinity. Kaiser powerfully shows how male supremacists, right-wing populists and religious fundamentalists are tied together. From Trump to the incel movement, her book offers a thrilling and accessible deep dive into the masculinity struggles we read about in the headlines on a quasi-daily basis.â<br /><b>Julia Ebner, author of <i>Going Dark: The Secret Social Lives of Extremists</i></b></p> <p>âWe are witnessing a new conjuncture of political masculinity â aggressive, toxic and misogynistic. The book provides knowledgeable insights into global masculinist spaces, as well as processes of mobilizing masculinism. For those interested in gender, politics and de-democratization, a must!â<br /><b>Birgit Sauer, University of Vienna<br /></b><i><br /></i>â[T]he breadth and nuance present in Kaiserâs analysis firmly situates Political Masculinity as requisite reading for scholars concerned with the reshaping of hegemonic masculinity, the gendered character of the far-right, or the authoritarian turn in contemporary politics.â<i><br /><b>Social Forces</b></i></p>
