Masculinidades en movimiento. Transformación territorial y sistemas de género.

This monograph builds a new approach to the interaction of gender systems with socioeconomic and environmental changes, and applies this approach in the analysis of regional trends in Latin America over the past 25 years, together with national and territorial analyses. The book’s main objectives are to advance a theoretical and methodological approach not found in other studies of socioeconomic and environmental change, and to describe undocumented aspects of change underway in rural Latin America.

This project differs from existing books on gender in several ways. First, while most prioritize women and gender, and some focus on men and masculinities, this book considers both realms. Second, instead of concentrating on the activities and conditions of individual men and women, this book explores how these factors, together with gendered institutions and resources, interact and play out in territorial dynamics. And third, rather than trace unidirectional impacts of historical processes on gender roles and relations, this book pays serious attention to how gender systems condition, constrain or facilitate socioeconomic and environmental changes, influencing the shape they take and the impacts they make.
