Combines historical analysis, ethnographic field research, and interviews conducted with los muxes of Juchit???n, a hybrid third gender, over a period of seven years. Sociologist Alfredo Mirand??? observed community events, attended muxe velas, and interviewed both muxes and other Juchit???n residents. Prefaced by an overview of the study methods and sample, the book challenges the ideology of a male-dominated Mexican society driven by the cult of machismo, featuring photos alongside four appendixes.
