Young men’s will to suffer and the reproduction of global capitalism
The Precarity of Masculinity: Football, Pentecostalism, and Transnational Aspirations in Cameroon by Uroš Kovač (Berghahn Books) unpacks young Cameroonians' football dreams, Pentecostal faith, obligations to provide, and desires to migrate to highlight the precarity of masculinity in structurally adjusted Africa and neoliberal capitalism. Daniel Alsarve finds little to criticize in this important work, merely suggesting further studies and a better understanding of the concept of hegemonic masculinity.
