Masculinity and Mental Health of Muslim Men of Colour (eBook, PDF)

Diaspora and Intersectionality of Canadian Youth

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book delves into the complexities of masculinity, mental health, and cultural identity among young Bangladeshi-Canadian men. Employing an anthropological, intersectional approach, it scrutinizes the interplay of neoliberal ideologies, Islamic values, and diasporic experiences in shaping their masculine trajectories. The study unravels the intergenerational trauma, parental pressures, and societal expectations that contribute to their deteriorating mental well-being. With a unique insider perspective and rich empirical data, this book fills a crucial gap in the literature by offering invaluable insights for scholars exploring the nuances of migration, ethnicity, gender, and psychological resilience. Strikingly, the author proposes evidence-based interventions and policy recommendations to address the mental health struggles of this underserved population, making it a must-read for academics and students in diaspora studies, migration studies, sociology of race and ethnicity, gender studies, anthropology, political science and development studies, as well as NGOs and policymakers alike.

Mustahid Husain is Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Anthropology, University of Toronto, Canada. His scholarly interests intersect digital, feminist, and socio-cultural anthropology spanning global political economy, masculinity's impact on mental health, and social justice and governance. Driven by community engagement and visual participatory action research, Husain's ongoing work investigates how Muslim masculinities are shaped by intergenerational dynamics and male dominance within diasporic contexts, and how these emergent masculinities influence mental health outcomes. His latest monograph is Development, Neoliberalism, and Islamism in South Asia: The Case of Bangladesh (Palgrave Macmillan 2022).
