Understanding Manhood In America: Freemasonry's Enduring Path to The Mature Masculine - by Robert G. Davis This work examines the nature of masculinity and the changing role of masculinity in America. It looks at how men have defined the ideals of masculinity over the landscape of American history. It is hoped that, by understanding how manhood is influenced by cultural perceptions of masculinity, the reader might gain a better understanding of how men think, what motivates their actions, and why they often turn out to be only what we make them to be. The author is a well known Freemason – a member of America’s oldest and largest fraternal society. Through his own leadership experience in associating and working with thousands of men, he increases the reader’s awareness of why men’s organizations are good for men. Softcover, 193 pages. |
