The Gendered Politics of the Korean Protestant Right

Viac o knihe

Focusing on gendered politics, the book offers a critical feminist analysis of the Korean Protestant Right's response to the decline of hegemonic masculinity in a post-hypermasculine society. Nami Kim examines the interconnectedness of three key movements: Father School, the anti-LGBT campaign, and Islamophobia. These phenomena illustrate how the Protestant Right navigates and contests masculinity, particularly in relation to women, sexual minorities, and various marginalized groups, highlighting the complex dynamics of power and identity in contemporary Korea.
