'An impressive and meticulously crafted African ethnography, which
has theoretical and practical relevance for understanding
masculinity and violence in general'- David Parkin, Professor of
Anthropology, Cambridge University Manhood and Morality explores
issues of male identity among the Gisu of Uganda and the moral
dilemma faced by men who define themselves by their capacity for
violence. Drawing extensively on twenty years of fieldwork and on
psychological theory the book covers: circumcision
Oedipal feelings
witchcraft
deviance
joking
sexuality
and ethnicity.
This ethnographic study challenges our preconceptions of manhood,
especially African virility, inviting a wider re-evaluation of
masculinity.
