Description

Manhood and Morality offers a comprehensive ethnographic examination of male identity and moral conflict among the Gisu people of Uganda, grounded in two decades of fieldwork. This seminal work by Routledge explores how Gisu men navigate the tension between defining themselves through capacity for violence whilst maintaining moral codes. The study addresses circumcision, Oedipal dynamics, witchcraft, deviance, joking relationships, sexuality and ethnicity within Gisu society, integrating psychological theory with anthropological observation. Praised for its theoretical rigour and practical relevance to broader understandings of masculinity and violence across cultures, this ethnography provides crucial insights into how ritual, social identity and moral frameworks intersect in shaping male experience and behaviour in African societies.

Key Features

Explores male identity and moral dilemmas among the Gisu of Uganda through extensive ethnographic fieldwork spanning twenty years.

Integrates psychological theory with anthropological observation to examine how violence and masculinity define Gisu men's identities.

Addresses key cultural practices including circumcision, witchcraft, deviance, joking relationships and sexuality within Gisu society.

Published by Routledge, offering scholarly depth and theoretical relevance for understanding masculinity and violence in general anthropological contexts.

Provides cross-cultural insights applicable beyond the Gisu, contributing to broader academic understanding of gender, ritual and social morality.
