Geir Henning Presterudstuen provides an ethnographic account of
howmen in the multicultural urban centres of Fiji perceive,
construct andperform masculinities in the context of rapid social
change. Theoreticallyinformed by critical feminist theories,
postcolonialism, R.W. Connell's workon masculinities and a
Bourdieuan conceptualization of the body, thisbook explores how
notions of masculinity, manhood and the male bodyare shaped by the
conflicting social forces of Fijian tradition,
modernity,commercialization and urbanization.The book provides a
timely intervention, from the grassroots level in theglobal south,
into an ongoing discourse about men and masculinities thathas long
been dominated by voices from Europe and the US. Combiningclassic
ethnography with innovative social analysis, Presterudstuen'sbook
is suitable for students and academics with an interest in
genderand social change, and for scholars across a variety of
disciplinesincluding anthropology, gender studies, sociology,
pacific studies andinternational development.
