Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book to bring together extensive recent innovative research on the study of men and masculinities in Southeast Asia. Drawing on rich ethnographic fieldwork from Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia and Timor-Leste, the book examines both dominant and marginal constructions of masculinity, and the impact of cultural flows on the construction of what it means to be 'a man'.
