Abstract
Our research project on Migrant Masculinities involves a comparative inquiry into the gendered subjectivities of men who have migrated to Australia from four culturally-diverse regions of the world: East Africa; the Middle East; Southern Asia and Latin America. The project investigates the impact of migration on the (re)construction of male gender identity by examining the impact of contemporary Australian society and the men's native cultural traditions on their experience of masculinity in Australia. The focus is on the men's experiences of migration and settlement and the extent to which they impact on men's patriarchal attitudes and their gendered behaviour and identity. In this article, we report on the initial stages of the study with six Latin American male migrants within the wider context of the growing literature on Latin American masculinity and migration studies.
