Drawing on an ethnographic study on young Moroccan immigrants in
Europe (France and Italy), this book analyses the hegemonic power
of heteronormativity and its plural expressions. It tries to give
an answer to the following main questions: How the normative power
of heterosexuality is socially constructed among men? How and why
heterosexuality is interpreted as the socially "appropriate" norm
to be recognised as a "true" man by other men? Attention is focused
on those people who use heteronormativity in order to produce and
reproduce heterosexual identifications through performing hegemonic
masculinities. The objective is to deconstruct the "normality" of
heterosexuality and the ways through which it is commonly used as a
normative reference to talk about sexual life as well as to build
masculinities, especially within homosocial relationships. An
enlightening book consisting of a rich empirical material and
theoretical analysis, this volume will appeal to undergraduate and
postgraduate students, as well as postdoctoral researchers who are
interested in fields such as Sociology, Anthropology and Gender
Studies.
