📝 Description

David Gilmore's anthropological study explores the concept of manhood across various non-industrialized cultures worldwide. He argues that manhood is not a natural state but a cultural construct, often requiring men to prove themselves through acts of bravery, assertiveness, and contribution to the community, challenging the idea of men as inherently lazy or self-interested.
