"Because of my experience in Afghanistan, I would recommend Crafting Masculine Selves for those working in or returning from the region. ... In a political science or international relations course, Crafting Masculine Selves could be challenging because it is rooted in a very different academic discipline. The perspective and insights are worth the challenge." -- Alisa Stack, Terrorism and Political Violence"[T]he current anthropological interest in person-centered ethnography, the study of subjectivity, and the anthropology of suffering offers a new point of contact with current psychoanalytic thinking and gives renewed life to the field of psychoanalytic anthropology." -- Robert A. Paul, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association"Crafting Masculine Selves demonstrates how ethnographic method can be expanded to include interdisciplinary expertise, while remaining critical of the knowledge production processes that undergird this expertise. ...

Synopsis
Based on five years of ethnographic research among Pashtun men in Afghanistan, this book presents a psychological study of adjustment and adaptation (or lack thereof) to cultural norms and rules of masculinity, and of how social expectations impact the subjectivity and inner lives of the protagonists. It chronicles Afghan Pashtun men's private conflicts, contradictions, and ambivalences just as much as it shows how three decades of continuous conflict have exacerbated and deepened the place and role of violence in Pashtun society, where what was considerate legitimate and justifiable behavior in the battlefield has spilled over into everyday life among non-combatants., Against the backdrop of four decades of continuous conflict in Afghanistan, the Pashtun male protagonists of this book carry out their daily effort to internally negotiate, adjust (if at all), and respond to the very strict cultural norms and rules of masculinity that their androcentric social environment enjoins on them. Yet, in a widespread context of war, displacement, relocation, and social violence, cultural expectations and stringent tenets on how to comport oneself as a "real man" have a profound impact on the psychological equilibrium and emotional dynamics of these individuals. This book is a close investigation into these private and at times contradictory aspects of subjectivity. Stemming from five years of research in a southeastern province of Afghanistan, it presents a long-term, psychodynamic engagement with a select group of male Pashtun individuals, which results in a multilayered dive not only into their inner lives, but also into the cultural and social environment in which they live and develop. Behind the screen of what often seems like outward conformity, Andrea Chiovenda is able to point to areas of strong inner conflict, ambivalence, and rebellion, which in turn will serve as the seeds for cultural and social change. These dynamics play out in a setting in which what was considered legitimate and justifiable violence on the battlefield has now spilled over into everyday life, even among non-combatants.
