Global Masculinities: Interrogations and Reconstructions
Editat de Mangesh Kulkarni, Rimjhim Jain (Associate Editor)en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 dec 2018
This volume interrogates the myriad practices and myth-making that underlie dominant and subordinate constructions of masculinities around the world. Challenging the patriarchal bias that restricts alternative understanding of masculinities, this volume documents and shares evidence, insights and direction on how men and boys can creatively contribute to gender equality in the twenty-first century.
The book:
- highlights the many lives of men and their interactions with socioeconomic and political processes, including the family, fatherhood, migration, development and violence;
- critiques hegemonic masculinities, and grapples with effective practices that engage men in the empowerment of women;
- explores how cultures of masculinity can be transformed to promote social justice, conflict-resolution and peace-building within and across nations

Recenzii
"The collection is part of a recent upsurge of interest in global research on masculinity, closely linked with the spread of activism for gender reform. It brings together a very wide range of experiences including communities and groups from Africa, south and south-east Asia, south America, southern and northern Europe." — Raewyn Connell, Professor Emerita, University of Sydney, Australia
"This important collection provides a genuinely global take on masculinities and their effect on social life. The combination of contributions by both academics and practitioners significantly serves to engender an approach to real-world problems that is neither abstract theorizing nor simplistic description." — Sanjay Srivastava, Professor of Sociology, Institute of Economic Growth, University of Delhi, India
