In Masculinity and Sexuality in Modern Mexico, historians and anthropologists explain how evolving notions of the meaning and practice of manhood have shaped Mexican history. In essays that range from Texas to Oaxaca and from the 1880s to the present, contributors write about file clerks and movie stars, wealthy world travelers and ordinary people whose adventures were confined to a bar in the middle of town. The Mexicans we meet in these essays lived out their identities through extraordinary events--committing terrible crimes, writing world-famous songs, and ruling the nation--but also in everyday activities like falling in love, raising families, getting dressed, and going to the movies. Thus, these essays in the history of masculinity connect the major topics of Mexican political history since 1880 to the history of daily life.

Enriching our understanding of transnational networks and advocacy forged and sustained by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people, this open access collection offers keen insights into sites and expressions of LGBTQ+ identity and community, highlights transnational efforts to challenge homophobia and assesses why such efforts have succeeded in some places and failed in others.Exploring the complexity of transnational processes, contributors question and contextualize how groups outside the North Atlantic, English-speaking, and Germanic cultural spheres accessed, mediated, and appropriated Anglo-American, Canadian, Swiss, and Scandinavian queer liberationist ideologies and practices. Tracing the ways in which queer ideas, activists and publications followed traditional flows of knowledge and trade through established regional and colonial circuits it shows how ideas, people, forms of resistance and activism flowed back and forth between countries and places at different times. Taking relations between countries, places and groups as its point of departure, this book challenges the methodological nationalism that is so common in this field, showing how LGBTQ+ movements developed in transnational virtual and practical networks, complicating progress narratives and illustrating how and why moves toward LGBT+ equality are incremental and sometimes reversed.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
