Based on rich ethnographic studies in South Africa and elsewhere in in the continent, this collection addresses the argument that because South African feminine studies are fraught with problems, boys and men should be included in all research and intervention work studying gender equality and transformation. Chapters examine several issues of the African male psyche, such as varying identifiers of manhood, teenage masculinity, paternal responsibility, and the impact of HIV/AIDS in the region. 517 3 $aSocial constructions of masculinity in contemporary society 606 $aMasculinity$zSouth Africa 606 $aMasculinity in popular culture$zSouth Africa 615 0$aMasculinity 615 0$aMasculinity in popular culture 701 $aShefer$b Tamara$01699371 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910829592103321 996 $aFrom boys to men$94081611 997 $aUNINA
