Title Summary
A necessary counterpart to Western hand-wringing over the fate of Muslim women, says Ewing (cultural anthropology and religion, Duke U.) is the stigmatization of Muslim men, but that generally goes unnoticed because of the blind spots and silences that surround it. She first explores mythologizing the traditional man from such perspectives as rescuing Muslim woman from Muslim man, and recovering honor and respect. Then she considers the role of stigmatizing masculinity in the German national imaginary. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
