'Men and Masculinities in the Global South: A Southern Perspective' is a pioneering collection that places Southern voices, practices, and contexts at the centre of global masculinities research. For too long, the field of Men and Masculinities Studies (MMS) has been shaped by theories generated in the Global North. This volume responds by foregrounding scholarship rooted in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and other Southern regions, showing that the Global South is not a periphery but a vibrant source of theoretical innovation and critical practice.

Organised in two parts, the book moves from thematic analyses to regionally grounded case studies. Part I examines key issues such as the history of MMS in the North and South, male healthcare, violence, activism, music, and literature. Part II highlights the lived realities of masculinities (geography of masculinities) across Chile, India, Madagascar, Mozambique, Zambia, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam, among other locations, illustrating how local histories and political economies shape gendered experiences in diverse ways. Contributors engage both with established frameworks - such as Raewyn Connell's Southern Theory, among others - and with fresh conceptual tools that expand comparative and transnational research.

Equally distinctive is the book's collaborative method. Emerging from an open call for chapters, it fosters an ""invisible college"" of scholars, activists, and practitioner-researchers working across disciplines, languages, and borders. This approach not only diversifies the field but also strengthens South-South and South-North exchanges in MMS.

Accessible and rigorous, this collection will serve undergraduate and postgraduate students in Gender Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Cultural Studies, Development, and Public Health. It is equally relevant for NGOs, educators, policymakers, and professionals engaged in gender justice, health, and violence prevention. As a reference text, teaching aid, and catalyst for new scholarship, 'Men and Masculinities in the Global South' affirms the South as an indispensable site of knowledge production and a driver of global debates on gender and social change.
