Cinemachismo, Sergio de la Mora, "Mexicans" in Film
This entry is just a quick pointer to the cool work of a mate of mine in the University of Texas Press stable--Cinemachismo: Masculinities and Sexuality in Mexican Film by UC Davis Prof Sergio de la Mora. A selection from the intro is available by clicking the image opposite or directly from UT Press here. As opposed to Tex[t]-Mex with its focus on estadounidense filmed artifacts, Cinemachismo concentrates on rethinking "Mexicans" in Mexico, with keen chapters on Pedro Infante, Jotismo, Pancho Villa, prostitution and, in a timely epilogue given the recent Renaissance of Mexicans in Hollywood, Gael García Bernal.
