Masculinity and sexuality in modern Mexico
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.

The Challenges of Translation, The Deception of Reception: The Case of Between Pancho Villa and a Naked Woman by Sabina Berman
Few plays from Latin America are translated and produced by professional theater companies in the English-speaking world. The reason for this, Diana Taylor has argued, is Latin American theater's \"deceptive familiarity.\" If a play is too exotic, it is deemed illegible; if it is made legible or feels familiar, it is dismissed as not being foreign or exotic enough. Occasionally, a play will escape this paradox and attract sufficient attention to warrant a series of productions. This has been the case of Between Pancho Villa and a Naked Woman, Sabina Berman's comic deconstruction of Mexican machismo as personified by the revolutionary folk hero and national icon Pancho Villa which, since its 1993 Mexican premiere, has enjoyed multiple productions abroad. Through a detailed analysis of performance reviews from U.S. and Canadian productions, the author considers the particular attraction of Berman's play and highlights difficulties in translating and producing this play outside Mexico.

All the Presidents Women: The Wives of General Antonio López de Santa Anna in 19th Century Mexico
The objective of this article is to contribute towards a fuller critical understanding of gender relations/politics in mid-19th-century Spanish America. Its aim is to provide an account of the relationship Mexican President General Antonio López de Santa Anna established with his two wives. This study is particularly concerned with the representative value of Santa Anna's case in terms of 19th-century gender relations and the macho stereotype of the caudillo. Do Santa Anna's marital and extra-marital relationships confirm or question traditional views on the position of women in Spanish America following the achievement of Independence? Do they conform with the 'rock-star' lifestyle generally attributed to the early 19th-century caudillo? A key aim of this study is to test the extent to which the relatively recent claim that women were more independent and influential than had been previously noted is borne out by case-studies of the women who shared their lives with the promiscuous six-times president Santa Anna.
