Refusing to privilege Western theoretical constructs (but remaining in dialogue with them), contributors explore the contestations around and diversities within men, masculinities and sexualities in Africa; investigate individual and collective practices of masculinity; and interrogate the social construction of masculinities. Bringing together insights from scholars across gender studies, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, history, literature and religion, this book demonstrates how recognizing and upholding the integrity of African phenomena, locating and reflecting on men and masculinities in varied African contexts and drawing new theoretical frameworks all combine to take the discourse on men and masculinities in Africa forward. Chapters examine a range of issues within the context of masculinities, including embodiment, sport, violence, militarism, spirituality, gender roles, fatherhood, homosexuality, health and work. This handbook will be valuable reading for scholars, researchers, and policymakers in Gender Studies (particularly Masculinity Studies) and Africana Studies. 606 $aMen 606 $aEthnology$zAfrica 606 $aCulture 606 $aSex 606 $aQueer theory 606 $aSociology 606 $aSocial groups 606 $aMens' Studies 606 $aAfrican Culture 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aQueer Studies 606 $aSexuality Studies 606 $aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging 615 0$aMen. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aQueer theory. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aSocial groups. 615 14$aMens' Studies. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aQueer Studies. 615 24$aSexuality Studies. 615 24$aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging. 676 $a305.31096 702 $aChitando$b Ezra 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910857782003321 996 $aThe Palgrave Handbook of African Men and Masculinities$94238266 997 $aUNINA
