Imagined Masculinities: Male Identity and Culture in the Modern Middle East / Edition 1

by Mai Ghoussoub, Emma Sinclair-Webb

Overview

Writings on gender in the Middle East generally neglect issues of male identity. Arguing that masculinity is as socially constructed as femininity, the authors investigate the ways in which men are acting, reacting, and adapting to the structural upheaval of the “traditional” family.
