Through explorations of six case studies taken from various Latino ethnic groups from multiple historical moments and socio-economic backgrounds, this bookcontributes to and advances our understanding about meanings of Latino manhood and masculinities. Rudolph'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 Latino masculinities intersect, diverge, and unify. The studies range from theatre performance and literature to men's activism, music, and sports, showing how masculinities are embodied and performed. INDICE: Introduction: Mapping Masculitinidad.
