This volume collates and examines literary and screened representations of what the editors term 'border masculinities'. It seeks to understand masculine subjectivities, through fiction and screen, within a complex global arena of relationships and fluid movements across multiple boundaries within that arena. It also concerns paradigmatic borders related to class, gender and ethnicities, as well as other theoretical parameters which cut across porous spatial boundaries. The works analysed in this collection contain a range of theoretically informed responses to varying cultural representations of such masculinities in Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean, Australasia and Asia. Thematic and conceptual connections between them are discussed in the introductory chapter and such links are also made between chapters. Amit Thakkar is Senior Lecturer in Hispanic Studies at Lancaster University in the Department of Languages and Cultures. With Professor Chris Harris (Lancaster University) he has co-edited a special issue (2010) on cultural representations of masculinities and violence in Latin America, as well as the volume Men, Power and Liberation: Readings of Masculinities in Spanish American Literatures (2015) He also co-edited, with Dr Nick Hodgin (University of Cardiff) Scars and Wounds: Legacies of Trauma on Film (2017) Chris Harris is a semi-retired Professor of Modern Languages and Cultures and former Vice President of Xi'an Jiaotong Liverpool University in China.
