Description

Most studies on reproductive rights make women their focal point, but in Fixing Men, Matthew Gutmann illuminates what men within the Mexican state of Oaxaca say and do about contraception, sex, and AIDS. According to extensive fieldwork, this breakthrough study by a preeminent anthropologist of men and masculinities reveals how these men and the women of their lives make decisions about birth keep an eye on, how they deal with the plague of AIDS, and the contradictory healing techniques biomedical and indigenous medical practitioners employ for infertility, impotence, and infidelity. Gutmann talks with men throughout and after their vasectomies and discovers why some opt for sterilization at the same time as such a lot of others feel “planned out of circle of relatives planning.”
