masculinity in different social contexts through a comparative analysis of three seminal works of African American literature: Lorraine Hansberry&#8217;s &#8220;A Raisin in the Sun&#8221; (1959), August Wilson&#8217;s &#8220;Fences&#8221; (1985), and Wilson&#8217;s &#8220;Gem of the Ocean&#8221; (2003). Employing a qualitative textual analysis approach and drawing on key concepts from masculinity studies, the paper examines how characters navigate traditional gender roles, perform masculinity, face crises of manhood, and search for identity. The findings reveal that masculinity is a fluid concept, constantly negotiated in response to changing social, economic, and cultural contexts. Societal expectations, economic factors, generational differences, and the intersection of race, class, and gender significantly influence the characters&#8217; masculine identities. The study highlights the complexity and diversity of African American masculinity, the resilience of African American men, and the need for more inclusive definitions of manhood. These findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how African American men navigate and redefine their masculine identities in response to societal challenges and personal aspirations. The study underscores the importance of considering historical context in understanding African American masculinity and its ongoing negotiation in literature and society.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2024 KIBU Authors Joseph Musungu Christine Namayi VIEW ON PUBLISHER SITE Abstract This study explores how African American male characters negotiate their masculinity in different social contexts through a comparative analysis of three seminal works of African American literature: Lorraine Hansberry&#8217;s &#8220;A Raisin in the Sun&#8221; (1959), August Wilson&#8217;s &#8220;Fences&#8221; (1985), and Wilson&#8217;s &#8220;Gem of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-research-list"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
