I argue that the charro, or Mexican cowboy, operates as a master symbol of lo mexicano on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. By tracing the evolution of the charro as a product of various social technologies, such as cinema, institutionalized discourses, and practices of daily life, I analyze how notions of gender, nation, and class intersect in el charro. In so doing, I consider questions of agency, authority, ideology, and process in cultural production and representation. [nationalism, Mexicans, representation, gender, popular culture]
