Sexuality Masculinities and Resistance in South India unravels the relations of domination subordination and resistance in the context of sexuality and masculinities in contemporary Malabar South India. Exploring a taxonomy of masculinities based on the lived experiences of gender and sexual non-conforming men this book documents the hierarchical character of masculine articulations on the one hand and forms of everyday resistance to hegemonic masculinity on the other. It proposes a broad project of social transformation inclusive of struggles by feminist groups which should also engage with socially ‘non-conforming’ collectives to challenge the power of masculinities. Sexuality Masculinities and Resistance in South India will be a valuable text for students and researchers in gender sexuality and queer studies as well as for professionals and activists in these areas.
