Matthew C. Gutmann 
Fixing Men [PDF ebook] 
Sex, Birth Control, and AIDS in Mexico

Wsparcie

Most studies on reproductive rights make women their focus, but in
Fixing Men, Matthew Gutmann illuminates what men in the Mexican state of Oaxaca say and do about contraception, sex, and AIDS. Based on extensive fieldwork, this breakthrough study by a preeminent anthropologist of men and masculinities reveals how these men and the women in their lives make decisions about birth control, how they cope 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 during and after their vasectomies and discovers why some opt for sterilization while so many others feel 'planned out of family planning.’
