'In this pathbreaking new book, Enarson and Pease have stretched the gender boundaries of disaster studies. The book reminds us there are multiple pieces of the gender and disasters puzzle, including men, masculinities, and sexualities. They show that men are both impacted and empowered by disasters in ways that build on their often privileged, but sometimes uniquely vulnerable positions in society. The essays in this fascinating collection document how some disasters reinforce men's dominance, while others threaten their livelihoods and undermine their authority. This timely and pivotal collection opens our eyes to the gendered complexity that results when men as well as women are the subjects of disaster studies.'- Joane Nagel, political and cultural sociologist and Distinguished Professor at the University of Kansas 'Men, Masculinities and Disaster is a major book whose many messages are ignored, literally at our peril. It brings the weight of feminist and profeminist analysis of men and masculinities to the questions of what happens before, during and after disasters; why disasters occur; and how they can be reduced and prevented. The many expert contributions combine strong empirical analysis, gender theoretical insights, and at times personal reflection. Elaine Enarson and Bob Pease have produced a truly major contribution that makes crystal clear the urgency of bringing together feminism and environmentalism in disaster studies.'- Jeff Hearn, author of Men of the World; Örebro University, Sweden; Hanken School of Economics, Finland; University of Huddersfield, UK 'This book confronts a paradox: disasters generally privilege males but we have very little solid evidence on the male experience of disaster and disaster risk reduction. Gender (and disaster) studies have long focused on the largest marginalized group - women - which sends the message that 'women are the problem'. This research emphasis operates in the same way as that in race studies, which have long focused on people of color instead of the white power wielders. This book is welcome for that shift in emphasis and doubly welcome for its attention to intersectionality and complex social relations. Elaine Enarson and Bob Pease are to be congratulated on curating a collection which crosses so many boundaries: gender, sexuality, age, race/ethnicity, the global north-south divide, discipline and practice. I am sure this will be a book well used by students and scholars. Hopefully, practitioners and policy makers will also engage with the ideas here and see the benefit of squeezing time from busy schedules to read something which offers them a different route through both disasters and the everyday.'- Maureen Fordham, Professor of Gender and Disaster Resilience, Northumbria University, UK and Coordinator of the Gender and Disaster Network 'The detailed research and practical knowledge shared in this book about men and masculinities in the context of disasters offers new and valuable insights into how men, and the organisations and systems they influence and lead, respond to the disruptions and challenges of emergencies. The book also addresses the implications this has for the health and well-being of men, women and children, and will help guide efforts to strengthen community resilience to emergencies.'- Craig Lapsley, Emergency Management Commissioner, ‎Emergency Management Victoria, 'In this pathbreaking new book, Enarson and Pease have stretched the gender boundaries of disaster studies.

Synopsis
In the examination of gender as a driving force in disasters, too little attention has been paid to how women's or men's disaster experiences relate to the wider context of gender inequality, or how gender-just practice can help prevent disasters or address climate change at a structural level. With a foreword from Kenneth Hewitt, an afterword from Raewyn Connell and contributions from renowned international experts, this book helps address the gap. It explores disasters in diverse environmental, hazard, political and cultural contexts through original research and theoretical reflection, building on the under-utilized orientation of critical men's studies. This body of thought, not previously applied in disaster contexts, explores how men gain, maintain and use power to assert control over women. Contributing authors examine the gender terrain of disasters 'through men's eyes, ' considering how diverse forms of masculinities shape men's efforts to respond to and recover from disasters and other climate challenges. The book highlights both the high costs paid by many men in disasters and the consequences of dominant masculinity practices for women and marginalized men. It concludes by examining how disaster risk can be reduced through men's diverse efforts to challenge hierarchies around gender, sexuality, disability, age and culture., In the examination of gender as a driving force in disasters, too little attention has been paid to how women's or men's disaster experiences relate to the wider context of gender inequality, or how gender-just practice can help prevent disasters or address climate change at a structural level.
