Revelando experiencias recurrentes de aislamiento,inseguridad, discriminacin y feminizacin en el pas de acogida,Gonzlez-Allende sostiene que el exilio y la emigracin causan un sentido decrisis, impotencia e inestabilidad en la masculinidad de los hombresdesplazados. El autor tambin examina como tendencia compensatoria que elexilio y la emigracin pueden ofrecer a estos hombres una mayor sensacin delibertad y una mejora de su situacin econmica. Cada uno de los sietecaptulos analiza una variedad diferente de las masculinidades en el exilio ola emigracin: el adolescente, el hombre en crisis, el hombre ocioso, el hombreque retorna a Espaa, el hombre trabajador, el hombre onanista y el hombreacadmico.

In it, Gonzlez-Allende examines the literary output of Spanish male authors over three periods of emigration and exile: the long Republican exile from Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), the emigration to Europe during the Spanish economic crisis of the 1960s, and the recent period of emigration of intellectuals to the United States through the end of the twentieth century. Revealing and unpacking recurring patterns of isolation, insecurity, discrimination, and feminization in the host country, Gonzlez-Allende argues that exile and emigration cause a crisis of powerlessness that can have a destabilizing effect on one's masculinity. Gonzlez-Allende also examines a countervailing trend among Spanish exiles and migrs of these periods; that from the same crisis some achieve a greater sense of freedom and improve their socioeconomic standing. Each of the seven chapters analyzes a different Spanish male exile or migr: the adolescent, the man at a crossroad, the idle man, the returning man, the working man, the onanist, and the academician. Works studied are likewise from a range of authors: Luis de Castresana, Juan Jos Domenchina, Juan Gil-Albert, Max Aub, Francisco Ayala, Patricio Chamizo, Vctor Canicio, Terenci Moix, Antonio Muoz Molina, and Javier Cercas.
