摘要

当代形式的不稳定、移民、连通性和社会性已经改变了许多非洲社区中作为一个男人的意义。在欧洲殖民主义、城市快速发展、经济困难和政治冲突的影响下，非洲人在劳动、婚姻和性方面的实践适应了现代生活的紧急情况，并以能动性和创造性回应了各种激励和约束。通过对非洲东部、西部和南部地区的民族志和历史研究，本期特刊的文章回顾了在男性角色方面发生的社会变化，并评估了反霸权男性气概出现的前景。

Of Masks and Masculinities in Africa

Contemporary forms of precarity, migration, connectivity, and sociality have transformed what it means to be a man in many African communities. Responding with agency and creativity to various incentives and constraints, Africans have adapted practices pertaining to labour, marriage, and sexuality to the exigencies of modern life amid the impacts of European colonialism, rapid urban growth, economic hardship, and political conflict. Drawing upon ethnographic and historical research to study settings in East, West, and Southern Africa, the articles in this special issue review the social changes that have taken place regarding men's roles and assess prospects for the emergence of counter-hegemonic masculinities.
