Brod, Harry (ed.) (1987), The Making of Masculinities: The New Men's
Studies (Boston: Allen & Unwin).

also the journal

Changing Men: Issues in Gender, Sex and Politics,  a semi-annual
pro-feminist journal whose address is 
    Changing Men
    306 N. Brooks
    Madison, WI 53715

And you may care to check out the book:

Men & Intimacy, editted by Franklin Abbott (1990), (Freedom CA.: The Crossing
Press)

On the other side:
There ARE a bunch of non-feminist "men's liberation" writers around,
but I WON'T recommend them due to their tendencies to blame women for
men's powerlessness when very often it's various rigidities in the society
which are holding us ALL down ...

[ E.g., Hillel pointed out (previous post) that men STILL live shorter
lives, and says (~) therefore feminism HASN'T changed men's lives ...
ok, but that is because we haven't gone FAR enough - not because we've
gone anywhere at all. ]

I think no-one can be free until we all are...
