García Cantú, Arcadio A. Contreras Ocegueda, Koryna I. If in our times it is no longer possible to speak of a homogenous national identity of Mexican men, especially at the dawn of the 21st century, which has brought with it a series of social changes, resignifying male experiences and practices, how then can we understand What does it mean to be a man today among those Mexicans from different regions and social ascriptions? From different theoretical and methodological perspectives, the authors of Masculinities in contemporary Mexico present reflections and results of research carried out in different areas of Mexico, which give us an overview of what it means to be a man and the changing masculine practices, especially in the areas of sexuality, fatherhood, work and regional culture itself. In particular, the works contained in this book make an important contribution to the studies of men in Mexico from the concept of gender and, simultaneously, contribute in a relevant way to the so-called studies on masculinities carried out in the country and in Latin America since the decade of the eighties. Si en nuestros tiempos ya no es posible hablar de una identidad nacional homogénea de los hombres mexicanos, en especial en los albores del siglo XXI, que han traído consigo una serie de cambios sociales, resignificando las experiencias y prácticas masculinas, ¿cómo entonces podemos entender qué significa ser un hombre hoy en día entre aquéllos mexicanos de diferentes regiones y adscripciones sociales? Desde distintas perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas, los autores de Masculinidades en el México contemporáneo presentan reflexiones y resultados de investigaciones efectuadas en diversos espacios de México, las cuales nos dan un panorama sobre lo que significa ser un hombre y las cambiantes práticas masculinas, especialmente en los ámbitos de la sexualidad, la paternidad, el trabajo y la cultura regional en sí misma. En concreto, los trabajos contenidos en este libro hacen una aportación importante a los estudios de los hombres en México desde el concepto de género y, simultáneamente, contribuyen en forma relevante a los denominados estudios sobre las masculinidades realizados en el país y en América Latina desde la década de los ochenta.
