Metaphors of Masculinity Sex and Status in Andalusian Folklore

In the Andalusian communities throughout the olive-growing region of southeastern Spain men show themselves to be primarily concerned with two problems of identity: their place in the social hierarchy, and the maintenance of their masculinity in the context of their culture. In this study of projective behavior as found in the folklore of an Andalusian town, Stanley Brandes is careful to support psychological interpretations with ethnographic evidence. His emphasis on male folklore provides a timely complement to current research on women.Brandes, Stanley is the author of 'Metaphors of Masculinity Sex and Status in Andalusian Folklore', published 1980 under ISBN 9780812211054 and ISBN 0812211057.
