Embodying Latino Masculinities

Embodying Latino Masculinities contributes to and advances our understanding of meanings of Latino manhood and masculinities through explorations of six case studies taken from various ethnic groups, historical moments, and socio-economic backgrounds. The work's comparative framework pushes current research on Latino masculinities forward as it is one of few texts that put differing ethno-racial and geo-historical experiences in dialogue to understand how multiple masculinities intersect, diverge, and unify. The case studies of Embodying Latino Masculinities range from theatre performance to literature, men's activism to music and sports to show how masculinities are embodied and performed.
