Masculinity After Trujillo: The Politics Of Gender In Dominican Literature

Any observer of Dominican political and literary discourse will quickly notice how certain notions of hyper-masculinity permeate the culture. In this extraordinary work, Maja Horn argues that this common Dominican attitude became ingrained during the dictatorship (1930-61) of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, as well as through the US military occupation that preceded it.
