This volume explores what it means for an African to be masculine and how male identity is shaped by cultural forces. The editors believe that to tackle the important questions in Africa-the many forms of violence (wars, genocides, familial violence and crime) and the AIDS pandemic-it is necessary to understand how a combination of a colonial past, patriarchal cultural structures and a variety of religious and knowledge systems creates masculine identities and sexualities. The work done in the book particularly bears in mind how vulnerability and marginalization produce complex forms of male identity. The book is interdisciplinary and is the first in-depth and comprehensive study of African men as a gendered category.MenAfricaMasculinityAfricaBlacksRace relationsMenMasculinityBlacks.Race relations.305.31096Ouzgane Lahoucine1630536Morrell Robert1630537MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828629603321African masculinities3968903UNINA
