[email protected] Acknowledgments The research was funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), Lisbon, Portugal in the Centre for Research in Anthropology (CRIA) at the University of Minho (UM). It began as a post-doctoral grant (SFRH/BPD/36914/2007), and fieldwork was then funded within the ambit of the Programa Ciência 2008 and the project ‘Care as Sustainability in 2 Crisis Situations’ (PTDC/CS-ANT/117259/2010) within the strategic project of CRIA (PEst-OE/SADG/UI4038/2014). 3 Introduction Studies of the internal vulnerabilities of Cape Verdean patriarchy (Rodrigues 2007) and of the threats posed to ‘hegemonic masculinity’ (Connell 1995) by recent socio-economic transformations in Cape Verde (Massart 2005) have contributed towards deepening our understanding of the situated nature of gender relations.
