"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."
