""Fixing Men" is terrific; sharp observation, tough-minded
analysis, beautiful writing."--Raewyn Connell, author of
"Masculinities"
"By bringing together a focus on men's sexuality in relation to key
sexual health issues such as HIV/AIDS, family planning and
contraception, vasectomies, and traditional healing for sexual
ailments such as impotence and infertility, "Fixing Men" makes a
major contribution that should help to define the field for some
time to come."--Richard Parker, author of "Beneath the Equator:
Cultures of Desire, Male Homosexuality, and Emerging Gay
Communities in Brazil"
"This ethnographic study of male sexuality, reproductive health and
health behavior makes new and needed contribution to several
scholarly debates and literatures. It is certain to attract
interest from medical anthropologists, along with researchers on
gender, sexuality, Mexican studies, and reproductive
health."--Carole Browner, University of California, Los Angeles
"In this consistently engaging study of male reproductive health,
Matt Gutmann has produced an original contribution to Latin
American ethnography, the study of masculinity, and medical
anthropology. Gutmann listens carefully to the life stories of men
in Oaxaca and discovers among them a rich range of emotions,
opinions, and behavior. As with his previous influential work,
"Fixing Men" presents a serious challenge to stereotypical
portraits of what it means to be a man in Mexico. Once you start
reading this riveting volume, you will not be able to put it
down."--Stanley Brandes, University of California, Berkeley
"Matthew Gutmann draws on his magisterial understanding of Mexican
masculinities in demonstrating how takingmale subjectivities and
migration seriously can illuminate the dynamics of HIV/AIDS and
reproductive health. In "Fixing Men," a conspiracy of silence
recedes in the face of his dialogues with Oaxacan men, whose words,
labor, and bodies challenge the cultural, sexual, and neoliberal
logics that have enabled scholars and public health practitioners
alike to avoid these complex questions."--Charles Briggs, author of
"Stories in the Time of Cholera"
""Fixing Men" is a path-breaking study of men's reproductive health
in Latin America. In a scholarly field where the focus is almost
entirely on women, "Fixing Men" shows us that men are important
reproductive actors, whose problems, needs, and desires must be
addressed in the fields of family planning, sex education, and
HIV/AIDS. This book represents an important contribution to the
anthropology of reproduction, the new masculinity studies, and to
Oaxacan ethnography. Global health practitioners would also benefit
from Gutmann's insights about the need to address men directly in
reproductive healthcare delivery."--Marcia C. Inhorn, author of
"Local Babies, Global Science"
