Masculinity, War and Violence

This book analyses masculinity, war, and violence in terms of public policies; resistance and independence movements; and masculine subjectivities, mobilization processes, and radicalization. It covers four recurring themes: violent masculinity and how society copes with violent rituals and violence against women; written and visual fiction about war and masculinity; gender relations in social movements; and masculinity in civil society under conditions of war and post-war. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding global and local masculinity in the context of other social factors. This book was published as a special issue of NORMA: International Journal for Masculinity Studies.
