This collective volume brings together leading scholars on Latin American cultural and literary studies to dialogue on frequently disparate views on the many meanings of and forms that masculinity took in Latin America’s nineteenth century. And like any successful and well thought out collection, the volume’s range is impressive in historical and textual terms. It includes essays that span from the struggles for national identity that were born out of the wars of independence to essays that consider the rise of mass culture in the latenineteenth and earlytwentieth centuries to the rise of Spanish American modernismo. Similarly, the volume’s essays consider texts that range from literary founding documents (such as those of Juan Bautista Alberdi, Esteban Echeverría and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento) to less well known texts (such as Adolfo Caminha’s Bom-Crioulo) to latenineteenth century and early twentieth century essays with scientific aspirations (such as those of José María Ramos Mejía and José Ingenieros) and finally to the modernista literature of Amado Nervo, José Martí, Rubén Darío and José Asunción Silva, among other modernista writers.
