{"product_id":"unveiling-men-wendy-desouza-9780815636038","title":"Unveiling Men: Modern Masculinities in Twentieth-Century Iran","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor years, Iranian academics, writers, and scholars have equated national development and progress with the reform of men's sexual behavior. Modern intellectuals repudiated native sexuality in Iran, just as their European counterparts in France and Germany did, arguing that transforming male identity was essential to the recovery of the nation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeSouza offers an alternate narrative of modern Iranian masculinity as an attempt to redraw social hierarchies among men. Moving beyond rigid portrayals of Islamic patriarchy and female oppression, she analyzes debates about manhood and maleness in early twentieth-century Iran, particularly around questions of race and sexuality. DeSouza presents the larger implications of Pahlavi hegemonic masculinity in creating racialized male subjects and \"productive\" sexualities. In addition, she explores a cross-pollination with Europe, identifying how the \"East\" shaped visions of European male identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Desouza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815636032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815636038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 8.60w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2019","brand":"Wendy Desouza","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947328176383,"sku":"9780815636038","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_295ea6b2-767a-4089-a12d-131959074f48.jpg?v=1681518072","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unveiling-men-wendy-desouza-9780815636038","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
