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 GarcĂa Bernal.
