Societal Constructions of Masculinity in Chicanx and Mexican Literature

“Societal Constructions of Masculinity in Chicanx and Mexican Literature: From Machismo to Feminist Masculinity” brings together well-argued essays that range from the mid 20th century to the contemporary times, providing readers with a long enough continuum to see the changing representations of “masculinity.” Unlike critical collections, which tend to focus on either side of the national border, this volume includes essays on Mexican and Chicanx cultural texts, which allows for a broader readership interested in Mexican, Greater Mexican, and Chicanx Studies. This will also be of interest to scholars of comparative studies of Latin American literature and culture.
