In A Sentimental Education for the Working Man Robert Buffington
reconstructs the complex, shifting, and contradictory ideas about
working-class masculinity in early twentieth-century Mexico City.
He argues that from 1900 to 1910, the capital's satirical penny
press provided working-class readers with alternative masculine
scripts that were more realistic about their lives, more responsive
to their concerns, and more representative of their culture than
anything proposed by elite social reformers and Porfirian
officials. The penny press shared elite concerns about the
destructive vices of working-class men, and urged them to be
devoted husbands, responsible citizens, and diligent workers; but
it also used biting satire to recast negative portrayals of
working-class masculinity and to overturn established social
hierarchies. In this challenge to the "macho" stereotype of
working-class Mexican men, Buffington shows how the penny press
contributed to the formation of working-class consciousness,
facilitated the imagining of a Mexican national community, and
validated working-class men as modern citizens.
