Focusing on male identity among the Gisu of Uganda, this ethnography delves into the moral complexities faced by men who equate their identity with violence. Through twenty years of fieldwork and psychological theory, it examines practices such as circumcision and how these rituals shape concepts of masculinity. The work offers insights into broader themes of manhood and morality, making it relevant for understanding the intersection of gender and violence in various contexts.
