Analyzes cultural materials that grapple with gender and blackness to revise traditional interpretations of Mexicanness.Honorable Mention, 2018 Elli Kongas-Maranda Professional Award presented by the Women's Studies Section of the American Folklore Society Winner of the 2018 Katherine Singer Kovacs Prize presented by the Modern Language Association Winner of the 2016 Victoria Urbano Critical Monograph Book Prize presented by the International Association of Hispanic Feminine Literature and Culture México's Nobodies examines two key figures in Mexican history that have remained anonymous despite their proliferation in the arts: the soldadera and the figure of the mulata. B. Christine Arce unravels the stunning paradox evident in the simultaneous erasure (in official circles) and ongoing fascination (in the popular imagination) with the nameless people who both define and fall outside of traditional norms of national identity. The book traces the legacy of these extraordinary figures in popular histories and legends, the Inquisition, ballads such as "La Adelita" and "La Cucaracha," iconic performers like Toña la Negra, and musical genres such as the son jarocho and danzón. This study is the first of its kind to draw attention to art's crucial role in bearing witness to the rich heritage of blacks and women in contemporary México.

La masculinidad se fundó en la idea de que el cuerpo del hombre se correspondía con el lugar del original, era principio de la materia, constituía su primera piel. No obstante, esta no siempre fue percibida como statu quo del cuerpo. Dicha ilusión de naturaleza, la idea de que el hombre ocupa el lugar de cuerpo neutro o, incluso, la percepción de que su cuerpo es un componente implícito o del todo ausente en la idea de la masculinidad, forma parte de un grupo de operaciones performativas que ha necesitado tiempo para perpetrarse. Drag Kings: arqueología crítica de masculinidades espectaculares en Latinx América se propone discutir el porvenir del género en el espacio desigual, plural y contradictorio que hemos llamado Latinx América. Partiendo del drag king show y de lo que proponemos como masculinidad espectacular —aquella masculinidad hiperbólica que usurpa el espacio de privilegio y centralidad que se le otorga a la masculinidad del hombre—, planteamos una sistemática arqueología de la puesta en escena de las muchas masculinidades y su capacidad de generar crisis en el heterosexismo, máquina de producción de sentidos a la que se le ha encomendado la programación binaria del género.
