Masculinities and Femininities in Latin America Uneven Development

This book explores the relations between gender and key historical processes playing out on various geographical scales in Latin America over the past 25 years, integrating critical approaches to men and masculinity with long-evolving woman-focused work on gender and development to consider how roles and resources associated with gender identities interact with institutions and landscapes over space and time. The analysis sheds light on socio-economic, political and environmental change in different parts of Latin America, and the dialectical relation between uneven geographies of development and the sociocultural institutions that produce, sustain or transform unequal spaces.

Susan Paulson is Professor at the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Florida.
