Oh Boy
This is not a good book.
It is specially not a good book compared to what it promises to be.
It promises to be a book that discusses the concept of masculinities within music. It isn't.
It is a collection of essays on music performance that uses 'masculinity' as a category of analisys.
This is also not a good book for what it is.
For a book that wants to use 'masculinity', the range of theories on masculinity, and gender performance more in general, is quite narrow.
This might be precisely because the book does not "discuss" masculinities, but "uses" masculinity to talk about their cases.
Therefore, rather than chalenging assumptions and coming up with new discussions on masculinities, it instead often choses a theory of masculinity to attach it to the analysis being made.
It comes short of its promise, and it does not go a good job on what it does. It can be an interesting read at times, specially for someone looking for ways people use masculinity to analyse data; but if one is looking into gaining more understanding on Masculinity itself, I wouldn't recommend.
