In Venezuelan Stick Fighting: The Civilizing Process in Martial
Arts, Michael J. Ryan examines the modern and historical role of
the secretive tradition of stick fighting within rural Venezuela.
Despite profound political and economic changes from the early
twentieth century to the modern day, traditional values, practices,
and social imaginaries associated with older forms of masculinity
and sociality are still valued. Stick, knife, and machete fighting
are understood as key means of instilling the values of fortitude
and cunning in younger generations. Recommended for scholars of
anthropology, social science, gender studies, and Latin American
studies.
