Masculine Marine Homoeroticism in the U.S. Marine Corps

"The Masculine Marine: Homoeroticism In The U.S. Marine Corps" dissects the complexities of military hypergender. Steven Zeeland elicits astonishingly candid responses from a diverse sampling of Marines to questions about aspects of this rarely documented subculture. Their answers shed light on homoerotic bonding among Marines, hazing and institutional violence, sexual stereotypes of Marines in gay culture, how gay Marines reconcile their sexual identity with the ethos of "hard" Marine supermasculinity, Marines in all-male pornography, how Marines feel about being viewed as sex objects, and male attitudes about women in the Marine Corps. Interwove throughout "The Masculine Marine" is the authors own personal narrative of how he came to know Marines. "The Masculine Marine" is a ground-breaking, seminal work that will be of great interest to the gay community and the student of the contemporary military subculture.Zeeland, Steven is the author of 'Masculine Marine Homoeroticism in the U.S. Marine Corps' with ISBN 9781560238744 and ISBN 1560238747.
