Often groups of people widely separated by space or time will tell the same basic story, but with differences in the details that reveal much about a particular group's worldview.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book looks at differences in the telling of several common Hispanic folktales. James Taggart contrasts how two men--a Spaniard and an Aztec-speaking Mexican--tell such tales as \"The Bear's Son.\" He explores how their stories present different ways of being a man in their respective cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaggart's analysis contributes to a revision of Freud's theory of gender, which was heavily grounded in biological determinism. Taggart focuses instead on how fathers reproduce different forms of masculinity in their sons. In particular, he shows how fathers who care for their infant sons teach them a relational masculinity based on a connected view of human relationships. Thus, \u003ci\u003eThe Bear and His Sons\u003c\/i\u003e will be important reading not only in anthropology and folklore, but also in the growing field of men's studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James M.
