Masculinities in Egypt and the Arab World : Historical, Literary, and Social Science Perspectives Paperback / softback
Edited by Helen (American University in Cairo) Rizzo
Part of the Cairo Papers in Social Science series
Paperback / softback
Description
While reflecting upon the Arab Spring, the essays in this collection cover several themes that include utilizing the concept of hegemonic masculinity in productive ways, the role of the state in promoting certain types of masculinities while devaluing and disciplining others, the potential role of feminism and activism in influencing masculinities, and the effects of colonialism, nationalism and postcolonialism, as well as war and violence.
Presenting cases from Egypt, Lebanon, and Tunisia, they seek to humanize, contextualize, and historicize masculinities to particular times and places in the Middle East.
