It embraced a narrative inquiry approach anchored in case studies to document and assess how school and community gendered practices were impacting the boys' gendered behaviours and evolving masculinities in a post-colonial context. The data collected from semi-structured interviews, video diaries, created graphic novels, and observations revealed that the boys engaged their gendered identities through conformity to heteronormative hegemonic masculine practices, anti-feminine rhetoric, and homophobic epithets. Further, data revealed that they were often replicating school and community heteronormative practices and beliefs. They seemed compelled to conform to hetereomasculine norms even when it conflicted with their personal beliefs. The research concludes that a cultural shift in homohysteria and homophobia is necessary to allow for more inclusive masculinities among young men in inner-city communities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
