- Title
Emergent Masculinities: Gendered Power and Social Change in the Biafran Atlantic Age by Ndubueze L. Mbah (review).
- Authors
Lofkrantz, Jennifer
- Abstract
Whereas other historians of gender in West Africa have concentrated on female masculinities in patrilineal societies, Mbah's study is focused on male masculinities in a matrilineal society. With I Emergent Masculinities i , Mbah shows how the expression and the role of male masculinity changed as the Bight of Biafra became more integrated into the Atlantic economy and into the British colonial era. With I Emergent Masculinities i , Ndubueze L. Mbah makes a vital contribution to West African and Atlantic world gender history and in particular to the study of African masculinities.
