NEW CASTLE UPON TYNE: CAMBRIDGE SCHOLARS PUBLISHING. 171 PP. JOSÉ DÍAZ-CUESTA GALIÁN* University of La Rioja In Men in Color, editor Josep M. Armengol provides a worthwhile examination of the ways in which gender, race and ethnicity interact within the world of masculinities depicted in U.S. literature and film. Armengol believes that the analysis of literary and filmic representations of racialised masculinities is expanding rapidly, despite the fact that it is still considered a relatively new area of study when compared to other areas within the field of masculinity studies such as sociology or the psychology of gender and race: both of which have been explored at greater length. Armengol aims to be comprehensive and for this reason studies of various ethnicities are included, with white masculinity explored as just one more type amongst the many different masculinities that are analysed. However it should perhaps be noted that by organising the studies with those of white masculinity at the very end of the book, this particular topic has been given an emphasis – a focus that could have been avoided. The editor is rapidly becoming an authority within the field of masculinity studies, particularly within the United States, and his related work includes Re/Presenting Men: Cultural and Literary Constructions of Masculinity in the U.S. (2008), Richard Ford and the Fiction of Masculinities (2010) and Debating Masculinity (edited by Armengol in collaboration with Angels Carabí, 2009). Men in Color consists of an introduction composed by Armengol and seven chapters by both male and female scholars.
