Becoming Young Men in a New India

Masculinities, Gender Relations and Violence in the Postcolony

Beschreibung

This book tells the gendered story of a changing India through the lives of its young middle class men. Through time spent ethnographically 'hanging-out' with young men in gyms, bars, clubs, trains and gay cruising grounds, it critically reveals Indian men's violence towards women in various city spaces.

Shannon Philip is Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Sociology at the University of Cambridge. He is interested in the intersections of race, gender, sexualities, masculinities, class and development in the urban context of Johannesburg. Before coming to Cambridge, Shannon completed his PhD at the University of Oxford where he used a combination of longitudinal ethnographic methods and visual analysis to study urban youth, masculinities, gender, development and the policing of public bodies in neoliberal India. His post-doctoral research on South Africa builds and expands several themes of his doctoral research and looks at India and South Africa comparatively.
