Archiving Mexican Masculinities in Diaspora - A Conversation with Nicole Guidotti Hernández

Join us for conversation with award-winning author, Nicole Guidotti-Hernández, Professor of English at Northeastern University. Her new book, Archiving Mexican Masculinities in Diaspora (Duke University Press, 2021) brings a transnational feminist analysis to the study of Mexican migrants to the United states during the first half of the 20th Century. Through case studies, she works against facile notions of machismo to highlight transnational Mexican masculinities rooted in emotional and physical intimacy that emerged from the experiences of being racial, political, and social outsiders in the United States. Her innovative work crosses boundaries of gender and queer studies, race and ethnic studies, borderlands and Latinx studies, and immigration and diaspora studies.
