    Some Men: Feminist Allies and the Movement to End Violence against Women

    Tal Peretz

    Michael A. Messner

    This book

    based on life history interviews with men and women anti-violence activists aged 22 to 70

    explores the strains and tensions of men’s work as feminist allies. When feminist women began to mobilize against rape and domestic violence

    setting up shelters and rape crisis centers

    a few men asked what they could do to help. They were directed “upstream

    ” and told to “talk to the men” with the goal of preventing future acts of violence. \n\nThis is a book about men who took this charge seriously

    committing themselves to working with boys and men to stop violence

    and to change the social definition of what it means to be a man. The book examines the experiences of three generational cohorts: a “movement cohort” of men who engaged with anti-violence work in the 1970s and early 1980s

    during the height of the feminist anti-violence mobilizations; a “bridge cohort” who engaged with anti-violence work from the mid-1980s into the 1990s

    as feminism receded as a mass movement and activists built sustainable organizations; a “professional cohort” who engaged from the mid-1990s to the present

    as anti-violence work has become embedded in community and campus organizations

    non-profits

    and the state. \n\nAcross these different time periods

    stories from life history interviews illuminate men’s varying pathways—including men of different racial/ethnic and class backgrounds—into anti-violence work. The book explores the promise of men’s violence prevention work with boys and men in schools

    college sports

    fraternities

    the U.S. military. The book also illuminates the strains and tensions of such work—including the ways male privilege is reproduced in feminist spheres—and explores the ways that men and women navigate these tensions.
