Reviews
“Szitanyi examines how the purported inclusion of women actually re-inscribes masculinity across the military. Excellent work illustrating how, despite claims of gender inclusivity, a regime of cisgender male heterosexual dominance is being reinforced. A critically important volume, even more so as the U.S. military moves backward.” (Máel Embser-Herbert, Professor, Sociology, Hamline University, USA)
