“Jolly fellows,” a term that gained currency in the nineteenth century, referred to those men whose more colorful antics included brawling, heavy drinking, gambling, and playing pranks. Reforms, especially the temperance movement, stigmatized such behavior, but pockets of jolly fellowship continued to flourish throughout the country. Richard Stott scrutinizes and analyzes this behavior to appreciate its origins and meaning. Stott finds that male behavior could be strikingly similar in diverse locales, from taverns and boardinghouses to college campuses and sporting events. He explores the permissive attitudes that thrived in such male domains as the streets of New York City, California during the gold rush, and the Pennsylvania oil fields, arguing that such places had an important influence on American society and culture. Stott recounts how the cattle and mining towns of the American West emerged as centers of resistance to Victorian propriety. It was here that unrestrained male behavior lasted the longest, before being replaced with a new convention that equated manliness with sobriety and self-control.Even as the number of jolly fellows dwindled, jolly themes flowed into American popular culture through minstrelsy, dime novels, and comic strips. Jolly Fellows proposes a new interpretation of nineteenth-century American culture and society and will inform future work on masculinity during this period.

Life After Guns explores how ex-combatants and other post-war youth negotiated a depleted and difficult social and cultural landscape in the years following Liberia's fourteen-year bloody civil war. Unlike others who study child soldiers, Abby Hardgrove's ethnography looks at both former combatants and also the youth who were not recruited to fight. She focuses on the structural constraints and household and family organizations that either helped or limited opportunities as these young men grew into adulthood. Whether young men fought or not, and whether they had cultural capital before the war or not, family relations mattered a great deal in how they fared after the war.

¿Qué significa ser hombre para los hombres y las mujeres que viven en la colonia popular Santo Domingo en la Ciudad de México?. Con el fin de responder a esa inquietud, se aborda en esta investigación desde un enfoque etnográfico la tarea de comprender la identidad de género en relación con los cambios en las prácticas y creencias culturales que han ocurrido en el México urbano, durante el transcurso de varias décadas de conmoción local y global. Se analiza, también, la manera en que la diferencia y la similitud culturales están constítuidas por actores sociales diversos que, a su vez, limitan y expanden los significados de identidad de género. Otro objetivo del estudio -más allá de la desconstrucción de clichés vacíos de la masculanidad mexicana- es el de contribuir a la reconstrucción teórica y empírica de las categorías de género, razón por la cual examinar la masculanidad en el México contemporáneo constituye tanto un asunto metodológico como cultural.
