Synopsis

Interrogating Caribbean Masculinities is an anthology of new Caribbean scholarship on masculinities. The content reflects a range of disciplinary approaches, including anthropology, history, international relations, literary criticism and art and installation. Special attention is paid to the interaction of power and sexuality in the construction of masculine identities. To understand how men express and exert power, it is necessary to include the analysis of power in the context of structural relationships: the class system, political and economic inequalities, racism, colonialism, homophobia, and other systems of oppression and exclusion. The book is of interest for those teaching masculinity studies, women and gender studies, and for policy makers interested in gender relations in the Caribbean and the Caribbean diaspora.
