Dear ATHG group, I have already spoken to some of you about a future issue of SHAR concerning this topic, especially in regard to women. I would like to put out a general call for discussion and contributions on this set of matters. I have been stimulated by what has been discussed recently on prohibition and violence. Right now I am preparing a book review of some recent books on dueling and masculinity--works of Peter Gay, Bob Nye, and Kevin McAleer--and have been going over some of the standard works on the history of men, such as Peter Stearns. I will have a short article on this matter in the next SHAR which should be out within a month. I wish to thank everyone, in advance, for anything they might wish to say on this subject and for any contributions they much wish to submit for SHAR. Take care, Scott
