Men of the Global South: A Reader is the most diverse and accessible
volume yet published on men and masculinities throughout the
developing world. A Reader that also offers a wide range of original
contributions, it explores male experience in a uniquely vivid and
accessible way. Adam Jones provides a framing introduction that
surveys the growing literature on Southern men and masculinities, and
links it to the broader study of gender and development. Six main
sections portray different aspects of male experience in the global
South: 'Family and Sexuality', ;Ritual & Belief', 'Work', 'Governance
and Conflict', 'Migrations' and 'Masculinities in Motion'. The text,
richly complemented by a number of photographs, serves as an ideal
introduction to the lives of men and boys from Africa, the Middle
East, Asia, and Latin America/the Caribbean. This book will appeal to
students and scholars of gender and development, as well as to general
readers interested in gaining a greater understanding and appreciation
of men's roles, challenges, and contributions worldwide.
