The new Arab man emergent masculinities, technologies, and Islam in the Middle East / [electronic resource] : Marcia C. Inhorn. - Princeton, NJ : Princeton University Press, 2012. - 1 online resource (429 p.)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Middle Eastern Muslim men have been widely vilified as terrorists, religious zealots, and brutal oppressors of women. The New Arab Man challenges these stereotypes with the stories of ordinary Middle Eastern men as they struggle to overcome infertility and childlessness through assisted reproduction. Drawing on two decades of ethnographic research across the Middle East with hundreds of men from a variety of social and religious backgrounds, Marcia Inhorn shows how the new Arab man is self-consciously rethinking the patriarchal masculinity of his forefathers and unseating received wisdoms.
