Reviews
"This engaging, exhaustively researched book examines the colonial origins of a much-studied and highly stereotyped phenomenon: Mexican machismo. However, the book is much more than a search for the roots of that axiomatically assertive, violent ideology. Instead, the author complicates easy stereotypes of Mexican masculinity, finding not only multiple colonial masculinities but a general difference between colonial norms and the machismo that emerged in the nineteenth and (especially) twentieth centuries."--Jacqueline Holler, Histoire sociale, "Sonya Lipsett-Rivera has written a brilliant book on a novel topic. . . . The committee found her command of primary sources masterful and her writing beautiful and accessible."--Rocky Mountain Council for Latin American Studies, "This terrific book is packed with detailed evidence and engaging analysis. Scholars and students of Latin American colonial history and gender theory will enjoy and benefit from it."--Nora E. Jaffary, Hispanic American Historical Review

Synopsis
Lipsett-Rivera traces the genesis of the Mexican macho by looking at daily interactions between Mexican men in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries., With limited resources to contextualize masculinity in colonial Mexico, film, literature, and social history perpetuate the stereotype associating Mexican men with machismo--defined as excessive virility that is accompanied by bravado and explosions of violence. While scholars studying men's gender identities in the colonial period have used Inquisition documents to explore their subject, these documents are inherently limiting given that the men described in them were considered to be criminals or otherwise marginal. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century resources, too, provide a limited perspective on machismo in the colonial period. The Origins of Macho addresses this deficiency by basing its study of colonial Mexican masculinity on the experiences of mainstream men. Lipsett-Rivera traces the genesis of the Mexican macho by looking at daily interactions between Mexican men in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In doing so she establishes an important foundation for gender studies in Mexico and Latin America and makes a significant contribution to the larger field of masculinity studies.
