Constructing, Negotiating, and Performing Chicano Manhood as a Borderland Masculinity

Abstract: In this article, I focus on the construction, negotiation and performance of Chicano masculinity and, more specifically, on its connection with the US-Mexico borderland. Drawing on Gloria Anzaldúa’s work on the borderland, this article introduces the term “borderland masculinity” as a concept to characterize the embedment of borderland subjectivity (performed through mestizaje in Anzaldúa’s approach) in Chicanos’ masculine identity. To achieve this, I discuss and compare various articles that illustrate different ways of constructing, negotiating and performing what I have called the “borderland masculinity.”
