Content
Authoritarian upbringing and traditional gender roles are part of everyday life in many Muslim families. In the contradiction between family loyalty and social expectations at school and at work, boys in particular find themselves in profound identity conflicts. As a result, they are in danger of becoming radicalized and massively over-interpreting traditional norms of masculinity. Ahmet Toprak traces the power and significance of gender roles and traditions in Muslim milieus, relentlessly exposes the toxic consequences of radicalization and exaggerated traditional masculinity and shows political and pedagogical ways out.
