Abstract
Using the critical framework of Cornwall and Lindisfarne in Dislocating Masculinities, The author reviews recent ethnographies focusing on masculinities, taking as given the need to question established categories of understanding gender, sex, and sexuality. Examining Derné's Culture in Action, a study of upper-class men in Banaras, India, and Moodie and Ndatshe's Going for Gold, an analysis of South African miners, The author discusses the ways that change, contingency, negotiation, and struggle are brought into ethnographies on men and masculinities.
