Emergent Masculinities in the Pacific focuses on the plasticity and
contingent nature of Pacific Island masculinities over the course
of colonial and postcolonial histories. The several case histories
concern the use of sports to recuperate but also refashion past
masculinities in the name of contemporary masculine pride; the
effects of market participation on younger males; how urbanisation
and migration set the stage for experimenting with male gender and
sexuality; the impacts of military and labour histories on local
masculinities; masculinity and violence in war and gender violence;
and structural violence and disruptions in male gender identity.
Depicting contemporary Pacific Island societies as a space of
gender invention and pluralism as indigenous gender regimes respond
to the stimulations of transnational flows, the book asks a key
historical question: Do emergent masculinities signal a rupture, or
some continuity with, past masculinities? This book was originally
published as a special double issue of The Asia Pacific Journal of
Anthropology.
