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. 606 $aMen$zAfrica 606 $aMasculinity$zAfrica 606 $aBlack people 606 $aRace relations 615 0$aMen 615 0$aMasculinity 615 0$aBlack people. 615 0$aRace relations. 676 $a305.31096 701 $aOuzgane$b Lahoucine$01547842 701 $aMorrell$b Robert$01578963 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784212603321 996 $aAfrican masculinities$93858681 997 $aUNINA
