The (In)Visibility of Men in the U.S.-American Quilt World

Bag om The (In)Visibility of Men in the U.S.-American Quilt World

This book investigates men and quiltmaking, an under-researched part of the U.S.-American quilt world. It analyzes the connection between the genderedness of material practice and White masculinity concepts in the U.S.-American mainstream. The examination of the construct of masculinity in two quilt novel series from the 2010s aims to answer the question of whether the characters¿ attitudes towards quiltmaking and quilts as objects provide information about change in heterosexual gender relations and whether the fictional masculinities in Wanda E. Brunstetter¿s or Ann Hazelwood¿s novels promote new approaches to manhood. Due to the paucity of scholarly work on contemporary quilt fiction, this book also contributes to the study of a hybrid genre.
