African Masculinities: Men in Africa from the Late 19th Century to the Present

African Masculinities: Men in Africa from the Late 19th Century to the Present (2005), edited by Lahoucine Ouzgane and Robert Morrell, examines the construction and transformation of masculinities across Africa. The book explores how colonialism, apartheid, and postcolonial shifts have shaped African men’s identities and roles in society. Through interdisciplinary research, it delves into the complex intersections of race, gender, class, and sexuality, challenging dominant narratives of African manhood. This work provides an insightful analysis of how masculinity is performed, contested, and redefined in various African contexts over time.
