Preferred term

machismo  

Definition

  • To provide a straightforward definition for the word machismo is to misunderstand its meaning in U.S. Hispanic culture. Imported from Mexico, the term within U.S. Hispanic studies remains unstable, a paradox of affect. [Source: Multicultural America: A Multimedia Encyclopedia; Machismo]
