In their place he offers a sensitive  wide-ranging  often surprising look at how Mexican men see themselves  parent their children  relate to women  socialize among themselves  and talk about sex in their daily lives. Gutmann finds that men and women are responding to sweeping social forces in Mexico  just as they are in the United States  with women often initiating changes in male attitudes and behaviors.  The Meanings of Macho takes the reader into Santo Domingo  Mexico City  the working-class neighborhood where Gutmann and his family lived. Exploring womens conceptions about men as well as mens ideas about themselves  Gutmann uncovers intriguing  complicated sexual politics among friends and informants. He discovers that  against stereotype  many mens nuanced  complicated sense of sexual identity encompasses considerable child care responsibilities and recognition of a newfound female autonomy. He also considers the kinds of homosocial space men are afforded in their culture  how violence against women plays itself out in this community  and the role of alcohol in male socializing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966842597429,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520202368","price":61.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520202368.jpg?v=1770583137","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-meanings-of-macho-being-a-man-in-mexico-city","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
