Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is today’s white-collar man? The world of work has changed radically since The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit and other mid-twentieth-century investigations of corporate life and identity. Contemporary jobs are more precarious, casual Friday has become an institution, and telecommuting blurs the divide between workplace and home. Gender expectations have changed, too, with men’s bodies increasingly exposed in the media and scrutinized in everyday interactions. In Buttoned Up, based on interviews with dozens of men in three U.S. cities with distinct local dress cultures—New York, San Francisco, and Cincinnati—Erynn Masi de Casanova asks what it means to wear the white collar now. Despite the expansion of men’s fashion and grooming practices, the decrease in formal dress codes, and the relaxing of traditional ideas about masculinity, white-collar men feel constrained in their choices about how to embody professionalism. They strategically embrace conformity in clothing as a way of maintaining their gender and class privilege. Across categories of race, sexual orientation and occupation, men talk about "blending in" and "looking the part" as they aim to keep their jobs or pursue better ones. These white-collar workers’ accounts show that greater freedom in work dress codes can, ironically, increase men’s anxiety about getting it wrong and discourage them from experimenting with their dress and appearance.

Book excerpt: This book calls into question building additional nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants given the attendant health problems, mainly childhood leukemia, thyroid cancer, breast and testicular cancer. Our inquiry is based on our continuing involvement in the peace and social justice movements and researching oil, chemical, and nuclear disasters. New findings support the social power theories of C. Wright Mills, Michel Foucault, and Jurgen Habermas. Data analyzed in our book are based on the experiences of ordinary people attempting to deal with nuclear secrecy and deception.
