Despite the understanding of scholars that masculinity, far from being a natural or stable concept, is in reality a social construction, the culture at large continues to privilege an idealized, coherent male point of view. "The Privilege of Crisis" draws on the work of authors such as H. Rider Haggard, Rudyard Kipling, and Joseph Conrad - as well as contemporary postcolonial writers such as J.M. Coetzee, Hanif Kureishi, and Zadie Smith - to show how recurrent references to a "crisis" of masculinity or the decline of masculinity serve largely to demonstrate and support positions of male privilege.
Elahe Haschemi Yekani is a lecturer in the Department of English and American Studies at Humboldt University in Berlin.
