Although Masculinities Studies have also flourished in the Global South, most southern research in this field remains unknown to the rest of the world, mainly due to language barriers, lack of incentive in publications and lack of interaction with scholars and publishers of the Global North. In other words, research and scholarship from the southern hemisphere barely circulate in the Global North; and those that do, are mostly written/interpreted from a northern point of view.
The main objective of this book project is to bring together native/global south authors working in the field of masculinities, with empirical and theoretical research, in the humanities and social sciences. The project will excel in bringing together a varied range of methodologies and theories that express works that open other paradigms beyond the long known and exalted theories of the Global North. Principally, the aim is to create a climate of exchange of knowledge, bringing us closer to research and the creation of new theories from our regions, at present little, or even unknown.
