A Man among Other Men examines competing constructions of modern manhood in the West African metropolis of Abidjan, C么te d'Ivoire.聽Engaging the histories, representational repertoires, and performative identities of men in Abidjan and across the Black Atlantic, Matlon shows how French colonial legacies and media tropes of Blackness act as powerful axes, rooting masculine identity and value within labor, consumerism, and commodification.
