Masculinities and Militarization
Men are not inherently prone to violence, fighting, or war, and masculinity is not, by default, militaristic. However, the military is historically a masculinist institution that imposes and reinforces gender norms in society; it is an arbiter of which masculinities serve the state, and it influences how people perceive themselves as men or women. The process of militarization is intimately associated with masculinities: armed forces select or re…
Masculinities
Masculinities are mannerisms, discourses, or customs that are associated with maleness in a certain context, place, or cultural framework.

"The Martial Islands": Making Marshallese Masculinities between American and Japanese Militarism
For over a century, the Marshall Islands have been entangled between the United States and Japan in their conquest of the Central Pacific; yet because of this, these islands have also been a place where multiple masculinities have converged, competed, and transformed each other.
