This review surveys studies of men and masculinities in anthropology and ethnography from other disciplines, as well as theoretical frameworks and debates among anthropologists and other relevant scholars in the field. It also aims to assess developments in these studies since an earlier Annual Review of Anthropology article was published on this subject. By considering the ethnographic boom in men and masculinities studies across the globe since 2000, increasingly authored by anthropologists from the Global South, this review considers anthropology's singular contributions topically and conceptually—for example, masculinity and militarism, men and public health, gender inequalities, and trans* social movements—including through innovative research in biological and linguistic anthropology and archaeology. Throughout, this article reflects on the extent to which anthropologists have moved (and if they should have moved) beyond the study of women or men to instead explore gender, sex, and sexuality of humans and nonhuman animals in less binary frameworks. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Anthropology, Volume 52 is October 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

“…Many of these argue that men, in the absence of opportunities for stable livelihoods, engage in violent or illicit activities in order to gain "respect" from their social surroundings (Bourgois, 1996;Enria, 2016;Iwilade, 2014;van Stapele, 2021;Vigh, 2017), thus theorizing respect as a gendered moral disposition and aspiration achieved through violence and illegality (cf. Masquelier, 2019;Thornton, 2016). Il Chamus indeed find themselves in increasingly violent and (economically, politically, and ecologically) precarious circumstances, but their uses of nkanyitsimilar to those among other Maa groups-do not revolve around notions of violence, but rather discipline, humbleness, and respect for elders.…”

Masculinity, Morality, and the State in Northern Kenya: The Case of Baringo County's Il Chamus

Since the early 2000s, armed attacks and inter-ethnic violence have increased in parts of northern Kenya's Baringo County. This article examines how the Maa-speaking Il Chamus men respond to the growing insecurity as they draw on long-standing notions of morality and on the Kenyan state. In contrast to tropes of (agro)pastoralist northern Kenya being plagued by inter-ethnic animosity, lawlessness, and absence of governance, Il Chamus men situate inter-ethnic violence and gun ownership in notions of peace, prosperity, and security and engage the Kenyan state in an effort to achieve these values. Analyses of men in precarious conditions as experiencing “waithood” and turning to violence “in search of respect” need to be complemented by attention to emic notions of morality, masculinity, and intergenerational hierarchy, albeit not as simple remnants of “culture” but as points of debate in contemporary contexts of political and ecological insecurity.
