Abstract

This work addresses the masculinities that Manuel González Prada expressed in the essays he dedicated to women and indians in Horas de lucha. Reviewing these texts allows me to appreciate the nuances that differentiated his masculinities from the hegemonic masculinities of his time. To that end, I begin by explaining concepts of the masculinity approach from Connell and Messerschmidt's theory. Then, I briefly introduce González Prada, explain a periodization of his work, and situate it in relation to the movement that dominated in its last stage. Next, I review the essay "Las esclavas de la iglesia" with the objective of discussing whether the author in question presents an allyship masculinity. Afterwards, I analyse the essay "Nuestro indios" and compare it briefly with the prevailing ideas of the time on the subject. This allows me to show the masculinity Gonzalez Prada assigns to the Indians and the masculinity he expresses in relation to them. Finally, I conclude that, although the Peruvian politician expressed masculinities that differed from those of his time, those masculinities continued to be hegemonic in most cases, and he could only be considered an ally with respect to the women around him.
