Biography
Victor Jeleniewski Seidler is Professor of Social Theory in the Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London. He has written widely in the field of gender, particularly in relation to men and masculinities as well as in social theory, critical theory, philosophy and ethics.
'The book works more as a series of mediations on themes laid out in the chapter headings. Chapter nine, for example, is "Fatherhood, class, 'race', power and sex"; the one that follows "Diasporas, histories, drugs and violence". The connections between these themes are not immediately clear and one of the pleasures of reading Siedler's book is the way he weaves them together, making some incisive connections and observations along the way' - Matt Cook, University of London
