The meanings of macho

"An important and interesting volume on gender, focusing on the meaning of manhood in Mexico City. Much more than a discussion of machismo, the text challenges the stereotypes of the Latin male and in their place paints a portrait of rapidly changing gender roles"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

First sentence: In this book I examine what it means to be a man, ser hombre, for men and women who live in the colonia popular of Santo Domingo, Mexico City.
