The book delves into the interplay between national identity and masculinity in Great Britain and the United States through various media, including literature, film, and photography. It emphasizes the significance of context in understanding diverse, transnational masculinities, proposing that differences and commonalities can coexist. The editors and contributors highlight a pluralistic approach, encouraging a nuanced exploration of how these identities are constructed and influenced across the Atlantic.

Floyd brings queer critique to bear on the Marxian categories of reification and totality and considers the dialectic that frames the work of Georg Lukas, Herbert Marcuse and Frederic Jameson.
