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.”»

In Archiving Mexican Masculinities in Diaspora, Nicole M. Guidotti-Hernandez challenges machismo-a shorthand for racialized and heteronormative Latinx men's misogyny-with nuanced portraits of Mexican men and masculinities along and across the US-Mexico border. Guidotti-Hernandez foregrounds Mexican men's emotional vulnerabilities and intimacies in their diasporic communities. Highlighting how Enrique Flores Magon, an anarchist political leader and journalist, upended gender norms through sentimentality and emotional vulnerability that he performed publicly and expressed privately, Guidotti-Hernandez documents compelling continuities between his expressions and those of men enrolled in the Bracero program. Braceros-more than 4.5 million Mexican men who traveled to the United States to work in temporary agricultural jobs from 1942 to 1964-forged domesticity and intimacy, sharing affection but also physical violence. Through these case studies that reexamine the diasporic male private sphere, Guidotti-Hernandez formulates a theory of transnational Mexican masculinities rooted in emotional and physical intimacy that emerged from the experiences of being racial, political, and social outsiders in the United States.

«“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
