Neoliberalism has exerted a profound and transformative influence on the lived,gendered experiences of individuals across the globe. While the gendered dimensions of neoliberalism have already garnered substantial scholarly attention,the existing literature has paid limited heed to the identities and experiences of men. In this collection,we seek to expand our understanding of gender dynamics under neoliberalism by drawing upon the groundbreaking work of Cornwall and Lindisfarnes seminal text,Dislocating Masculinity. Comprising a collection of concise and engaging case studies derived from recent ethnographic fieldwork,our subjects encompass a diverse range of experiences,spanning from the perspectives of working-class men in Putin's Russia to colonial masculinities in Southern Rhodesia,from young British Muslim men to amateur footballers in Jamaica. By delving into these diverse narratives,we aim to shed light on the complex and multifaceted ways in which neoliberalism shapes and reshapes the gender identities and experiences of men worldwide.
