Gutmann, Matthew C. Los hijos de Lewis: la sensibilidad antropológica y el caso de los pobres machos

In this article, the author explores Lewis’ misinterpretation who tries to find a ubiquitous sexism in Mexico, instead, the author proposes a careful study of the people’s life which will show some inherited characteristics as well as an attempt to create new ways of living together.
