Resumen

This chapter expounds the central features of the masculine revitalized by colonial/capitalist pattern of power and outlines how the patriarchal modulation of pattern of power occurs in three concrete examples. First, the consolidation of the patriarchy of the wage in Europe, between the 19th and 20th centuries. Second, the long process of the hypermasculinization of Black people in the United States during the 20th century, and lastly, the sudden process of Indigenous hypermasculinization (and kaibilization) in Guatemala, in the 1970s and 1980s. Based on the combined vision of these three cases, markedly differentiated by the racial classification of the world population, both the general mode of action of contemporary pattern of power and the historical specificities in which these occur provide an understanding of masculinizing politics in colonial/capitalist pattern of power.
