Archiving Mexican Masculinities in Diaspora
«“Archiving Mexican Masculinities in Diaspora makes a critical contribution to our collective sense of gender dynamics in twentieth-century migration studies. Nicole M. Guidotti-Hernández delivers a nuanced treatment of the masculinity of Mexican migrants over the first half of the twentieth century. Through myriad lenses, we see Mexican nationals as partners and lovers, as fathers and sons, as machos and domestic beings, and in homosocial and heteronormative positions.”»
George J. Sánchez,, Becoming Mexican American: Ethnicity, Culture, and Identity in Chicano Los Angeles, 1900–1945

«“Guidotti-Hernández is an elegant writer, and this book’s compelling and deeply human arguments resonate through the lucid prose. . . . This is a book to be read slowly, to be scrutinized and experienced.”»
Lydia R. Cooper, Western American Literature
"This incredibly thought-provoking book is meant to be read closely; Guidotti-Hernández’s forceful analysis, along with the more than fifty accompanying illustrations, deserves careful attention."
Juan Ignacio Mora, Latino Studies
