While masculinity studies enjoy considerable growth in the West,
there is very little analysis of African masculinities. This volume
explores what it means for an African to be masculine and how male
identity is shaped by cultural forces. The editors believe that to
tackle the important questions in Africa - the many forms of
violence (wars, genocides, familial violence and crime) and the
AIDS pandemic - it is necessary to understand how a combination of
a colonial past, patriarchal cultural structures and a variety of
religious and knowledge systems creates masculine identities and
sexualities. The work done in the book particularly bears in mind
how vulnerability and marginalization produce complex forms of male
identity. The book is interdisciplinary and is the first in-depth
and comprehensive study of African men as a gendered category.
