This book provides a critical feminist analysis of the Korean Protestant Rights gendered politics. Specifically, the volume explores the Protestant Rights responses and reactions to the presumed weakening of hegemonic masculinity in Koreas post-hypermasculine developmentalism context. Nami Kim examines three phenomena: Father School (an evangelical mens manhood and fatherhood restoration movement), the anti-LGBT movement, and Islamophobia/anti-Muslim racism. Although these three phenomena may look unrelated, Kim asserts that they represent the Protestant Rights distinct yet interrelated ways of engaging the contested hegemonic masculinity in Korean society. The contestation over hegemonic masculinity is a common thread that runs through and connects these three phenomena. The ways in which the Protestant Right has engaged the contested hegemonic masculinity have been in relation to others, such as women, sexual minorities, gender nonconforming people, and racial, ethnic, and religious minorities.
