Book Synopsis
Using South Africa as a case study, this book explores how the politics of masculinity and gender power are at the heart of tensions in nation building. It explores how gender structured the mobilization of Zulu nationalism in South Africa as antiapartheid efforts gained force during the 1980s.

Trade Review
"Thembisa Waetjen has written a dramatic and illuminating study of masculinity and politics, with relevance far wider than the remarkable case of Zulu nationalism. This book casts fresh light on ethnic appeals, nation-building, authority, and gender identities. It develops a new line of thought about the limits of masculine ideology in overcoming social divisions. This is an important contribution to our understanding of gender, development, and nationality." -- R. W. Connell, author of Masculinities and Gender and Power: Society, the Person and Sexual Politics
