Description: LATIN AMERICAN GENDERS
*****
Although Latin America is a collection of extraordinarily diverse cultures, ranging from modern urban societies to Indian peasant villages, many people assume the region shares a simple and easily identifiable set of gender relations. Male dominance is supposedly demonstrated by the wide embrace of "machismo". A close historical examination of Latin America however, reveals a far more complicated and nuanced set of relations between the sexes.
