Abstract in another language

Masculinity, like society itself, is constantly in flux. But in situations of social and political change, men are often said to be capable of navigating these changes. Less commented on, argue Benjamin Kirby and Adriaan van Klinken in their research on Zambia and Tanzania, is the way religion can allow a continuity of masculinity’s established practices, while remaining a key determinant of masculine performance.
