Through a fascinating combination of ethnographic research across seven US states and the application of postcolonial, anti-racist, feminist and poststructuralist theories, Land, God, and Guns reveals how time-honoured rites of passage associated with taken-for-granted notions of manhood in the American Heartland are constitutive of a constellation of colonial worldviews, capitalist logics, gender essentialisms, ethnocentric religious beliefs, jingoistic populism, racial animus, and embodied violence. A constellation that, within the US, upholds a heteropatriarchal and racist ordering of life that both privileges and ultimately damages its main proliferators ? white settler men. This is a detailed work that at once unravels rural white settler masculinity and the US state at their roots, whilst demonstrating why any analysis of the cultural production and social practice of masculinity in the United States must take into account the country's historical trajectories of imperialism, land dispossession, nation-state building, enslavement, extractive accumulation and valorisation of masculinist assertions of dominance."-- Provided by publisher. 606 $aMarginality, Social 606 $aMarginality, Social$xReligious aspects 615 0$aMarginality, Social. 615 0$aMarginality, Social$xReligious aspects. 676 $a305.568 700 $aBjarnesen$b Jesper$01378212 702 $aTurner$b Simon 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910729801003321 996 $aInvisibility in African displacements$93416394 997 $aUNINA
