Abstract

Objective

The aim of this study is to examine how the patriarchal structure affects Bedouin men's role in the family and how this role affects their masculinity.

Background

How the patriarchal structure affects Bedouin women and constrains them has been studied extensively, but there is a dearth of research on how it affects young Bedouin men—especially those who are the sons of men with higher education—who have been influenced by modernization and exposure to Israeli society.

Method

This is a qualitative study in the phenomenological tradition, using a semistructured in-depth interview, of 20 young Bedouin men.

Results

Four themes were identified. “Power that I did not choose”: The patriarchal structure gives young men power and authority that they do not choose and cannot oppose. “The mirror of the older men is important”: Fulfilling the traditional Bedouin man's role is crucial for obtaining their elders' approval of their masculinity. “Responsibility”: The men have responsibility. “Masculine juggling”: The young men must negotiate their aspirations that conflict with society's expectations.

Conclusion

The change that traditional Bedouin society is undergoing creates many challenges for young Bedouin men. These include having to be the authority figure in a patriarchal structure and the protector of the female family members, roles that often conflict with the men's personal desire for equality between the sexes and among family members.

Implications

The findings may be useful in planning support programs for educated young Bedouin men and may contribute to the understanding of the challenges facing men in Bedouin families.

"男子气概是对家庭的责任":以色列贝都因父权制阴影下的男性气质
本研究旨在探讨父权制结构如何影响贝都因男性在家庭中的角色,以及这种角色如何影响他们的男子气概。父权制结构如何影响贝都因女性并约束她们的问题已经得到了广泛的研究,但关于父权制结构如何影响贝都因年轻男性(尤其是那些受过高等教育的男性的儿子)的研究却十分匮乏,这些男性受到了现代化和以色列社会的影响。这是一项现象学传统的定性研究,采用半结构化深入访谈的方式,对 20 名贝都因青年男子进行了访谈。"我没有选择的权力":父权制结构赋予青年男子的权力和权威是他们无法选择和反对的。"年长者的镜子很重要":履行贝都因男子的传统角色对于获得长辈对其男子气概的认可至关重要。"责任":男人有责任。"男性杂耍":传统贝都因社会正在经历的变革给贝都因青年男子带来了许多挑战。这些挑战包括必须成为父权制结构中的权威人物和女性家庭成员的保护者,这些角色往往与男性个人对两性平等和家庭成员平等的渴望相冲突。
