This book covers topics from Cherokee chiefs to womanless weddings.
The follow-up to the critically acclaimed collection ""Southern
Manhood: Perspectives on Masculinity in the Old South"" (Georgia,
2004), ""Southern Masculinity"" explores the contours of southern
male identity from Reconstruction to the present. Twelve case
studies document the changing definitions of southern masculine
identity as understood in conjunction with identities based on
race, gender, age, sexuality, and geography.After the Civil War,
southern men crafted notions of manhood in opposition to northern
ideals of masculinity and as counterpoint to southern womanhood. At
the same time, manliness in the South - as understood by
individuals and within communities - retained and transformed
antebellum conceptions of honor and mastery. This collection
examines masculinity with respect to Reconstruction, the New South,
racism, southern womanhood, the Sunbelt, gay rights, and the rise
of the Christian Right. Familiar figures such as Arthur Ashe are
investigated from fresh angles, while other essays plumb new areas
such as the womanless wedding and Cherokee masculinity.
