| Sumario: | The harms caused by toxic forms of masculinity appear different in marginalized communities where gender is used as a tool of marginalization. This poses a particular challenge in the case of Black Americans, where both gender and kinship relations were stripped in slavery and pathologised during slavery's afterlives, making masculinity and fatherhood together particularly vexed issues. Efforts to 'redeem' masculinity, from this perspective, often sound much like white supremacist efforts to manage Black masculinity. The autobiography of executed gang leader Stanley Tookie Williams provides a particularly fruitful site for reflecting on the possibilities and limitations of redeeming Black manhood, given Williams's interest in spiritual disciplines. |
