This book offers a critical reinterpretation of male violence, patriarchy, and machismo in rural Latin America. It focuses on the lives of lower-class men and women, known as "sertanejo/as," in the hinterlands of the northeastern Brazilian province of Ceara between 1845 and 1889. Challenging the widely accepted depiction of "sertanejos" as conditioned to violence by nature, culture, and climate, Santos argues that their concern with maintaining an honorable manly reputation and the use of violence were historically contingent strategies employed to resolve conflicts over scant resources and to establish power over women and other men. She also traces a shift in the functioning of patriarchy that coincided with changes in the material fortunes of "sertanejo" families. As economic dislocation, environmental calamity, and family separation led to greater female autonomy and an erosion of patriarchal authority in the home, public--and often violent--enforcement of male power maintained patriarchal order in these communities.
