{"product_id":"beyond-machismo-ada-hurtado-9781477308776","title":"Beyond Machismo: Intersectional Latino Masculinities","description":"\u003cp\u003eLong considered a pervasive value of Latino cultures both south and north of the US border, machismo--a hypermasculinity that obliterates any other possible influences on men's attitudes and behavior--is still used to define Latino men and boys in the larger social narrative. Yet a closer look reveals young, educated Latino men who are going beyond machismo to a deeper understanding of women's experiences and a commitment to ending gender oppression. This new Latino manhood is the subject of \u003ci\u003eBeyond Machismo\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplying and expanding the concept of intersectionality developed by Chicana feminists, A?a Hurtado and Mrinal Sinha explain how the influences of race, class, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender shape Latinos' views of manhood, masculinity, and gender issues in Latino communities and their acceptance or rejection of feminism. In particular, the authors show how encountering Chicana feminist writings in college, as well as witnessing the horrors of sexist oppression in the United States and Latin America, propels young Latino men to a feminist consciousness. By focusing on young, high-achieving Latinos, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Machismo\u003c\/i\u003e elucidates this social group's internal diversity, thereby providing a more nuanced understanding of the processes by which Latino men can overcome structural obstacles, form coalitions across lines of difference, and contribute to movements for social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e A?a Hurtado, Mrinal Sinha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477308776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477308776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2017","brand":"A?a Hurtado","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994233274623,"sku":"9781477308776","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55fab7a5-66f8-4f2c-94b1-e18261a65f1c.jpg?v=1683328920","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-machismo-ada-hurtado-9781477308776","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
