It reflects a refreshing appreciation of the remarkable adaptability and resilience of patriarchy, and it feels attuned to the zeitgeist of the present era.  Whilst offering a rich, dynamic and complex diversity of fascinating studies on contextualised masculinities drenched in local flavours, the editors manage to introduce these with an excellent and accessible framing of masculinity in relation to patriarchy. They also conclude deftly with a thoughtful synthesis of insights from the studies whilst proffering some hopeful reflections for work with men on masculinities to resist and transcend the toxic injustices of patriarchy. * Jerker Edström, Research Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies,  Programme Director for ‘Countering Backlash: Reclaiming Gender Justice’ *\u003cbr\u003ePatriarchy is sometimes presented as an overarching and somewhat abstract set of structures and processes of societal domination by men. Here, however, in this book patriarchy is very much about what happens in practice, and what happens in the everyday – how patriarchy is done. The writing is fast-paced, accessible and diverse, across countries, sites and subjects, in both senses. \u003ci\u003ePatriarchy in Practice\u003c\/i\u003e brings together diverse ethnographies written for a wide and non-specialist readership, and neatly organised and edited. In so doing, it makes a strong and grounded contribution to the current revival of interest in contemporary patriarchies and patriarchal masculinities in action.
