Beyond the Hegemonic: A Global Exploration of Theory and Praxis of Men and Masculinities critically examines the conceptualization of hegemonic masculinity, arguing against its reduction to a monolithic and inherently negative construct. Instead, it proposes a more nuanced understanding of hegemony as crucial for the development of effective strategies for gender justice. The volume investigates the complex interplay between globalization, postcolonialism, neoliberalism, and emergent technologies in shaping masculinities across local, regional, and global scales. It analyzes the dynamic relationship between hegemonic masculinity and a range of non-hegemonic masculinities, including complicit, subordinate, marginalized, and protest masculinities.

Through a diverse range of case studies, encompassing topics such as the influence of Boys' Love media, the fragility of patriarchal masculinity as revealed in marginalized women's narratives, the cultural implications of the geriaction subgenre, the negotiation of metrosexuality within Indian contexts, and the intersection of violence and masculinity, the book explores the multifaceted ways in which feminism, globalization, and shifting gender roles have shaped contemporary masculinities, ultimately offering considered projections regarding their future trajectories.
