A Sentimental and Sexual Education
Alongside all the other functions of movie theaters over the past century, in Mexico City men have used them as sexual spaces. A few cinemas like the Cine Teresa became notorious as sites in which men could find male sex partners. Yet even there, behaviors of and narratives by men who had sex with men mirrored those by men who had sex with women. This article focuses on the history of masculine sexuality in Mexico City movie houses from 1920 to 2…
Linda B. Hall. Dolores del Río: Beauty in Light and Shade
Linda B. Hall's new book, Dolores del Río: Beauty in Light and Shade, radically revises previous studies of the Mexican film star. Hall, paradoxically, accomplishes this by sticking strictly to the methods and format of a standard historical biography, analyzing primary sources (both published and unpublished) in order to narrate del Río's life and place it in its historical context. Dolores del Río, a prototypical modern girl of the immediate po…

Locating Male Sexualities in Latin American History: Two Anthropological Models
Anthropological models of how sexuality has worked in Latin America, especially in relation to masculinity and honor, have profoundly influenced studies of Latin American social history. New anthropological studies of male sexuality in Latin America, particularly Don Kulick's ethnography of cross‐dressing male sex workers in urban Brazil, offer new ways of thinking about gender, family, and power; historians of Latin America should consider Kulic…

Fragments of a Golden Age: The Politics of Culture in Mexico Since 1940
Mexico in the 1940s: Modernity, Politics, and Corruption
With Mexico in the 1940s, Stephen Niblo has written an excellent companion volume to his 1995 War, Diplomacy, and Development: The United States and Mexico, 1938–1954. Both books should be read by anyone interested in modern Mexico. The new book covers what one might call Mexico’s long 1940s, from the Cárdenas administration’s right turn in 1938 through the end of the Alemán presidency in 1952; thus, the two volumes share periodization. The two b…
