Description
Summary:This article considers the story of Dinah in Genesis 34 to be a story primarily about masculinities. Therefore, it applies insights from masculinities studies to the negotiations that occur between the various men involved in Dinah's life. Identifying which characters exemplify particular types of masculinities is only part of the investigation. The analysis also attempts to evaluate the hegemonic and subordinate masculinities that are displayed and eventually concludes that every masculinity enacted is less than desirable.
