“…In addition, Latinx families are more likely than White families to have strong family networks (Cohen & Casper, 2002), which can provide financial and social support (Ayón & Naddy, 2013;Sarkisian et al, 2006). This is especially true for immigrants who have been in the United States for less than 10 years (Blank, 1998). Together, these cultural characteristics may support resiliency in Latinx immigrant families and act as a buffer against the impact of the risks faced by this population.…”

Fathers’ involvement in early childhood is important for children's physical, emotional, and cognitive development, particularly in low‐income families. However, little is known about the longitudinal relations between early father involvement and children's later physiological responses to chronic stress and behaviors impacted by stress in the context of poverty. These issues are particularly important among Latinx immigrant families who face significant psychosocial and poverty‐related risk. In the current study, we examined the relationship between father involvement in infancy and physiological chronic stress in the middle childhood period, as measured through hair cortisol concentration (HCC), and several behavioral measures (attention problems, working memory) in a Latinx immigrant sample with low income. Father involvement in infancy predicted children's later HCC, and working memory in second to third grade. Father involvement also moderated the effect of HCC on working memory, such that increased HCC predicted better working memory when fathers were not involved. These findings suggest that the fathers’ involvement in infancy has lasting impacts on health and behavior and that associations between physiological and behavioral measures of stress may be moderated by differences in early father involvement.

“…Beyond street and bars/taverns as settings that allow performative embodiment of masculine identity, another dimension of everyday lifestyle identity considers the oppositional category of home-and-hearth (La Casa) for Latinx immigrants. This category for identity embodiment emphasizes families and includes women's personalized connection to family life (Blank, 1998;cf. De Meis, 2002).…”

Fighting in Agricultural Areas of the Southeastern United States

In the scientific literature, interest in male aggression is driven by views that consuming alcohol increases the likelihood of fighting. This literature mostly focuses on barrooms. Ethnographic research generally stays clear of associating bars with fighting by exploring the expressive dimensions of drunken comportment and/or (less often) the antecedents to fighting, which may take place in a variety of settings. Based on long-term fieldwork among farm laborers across the Eastern and Midwestern United States, and an analysis of field data from one agricultural home-base community, this article examines implications of fighting among farmworkers who spend time in bars and taverns (la cantina) and/or the street (la calle). Street settings were found to be more volatile than bars and taverns in agricultural areas in relation to “scrapping” among men, and, thus, more likely to end in fight-related injury. Nonetheless, men often engaged in forms of impression management that expressed their masculinity, as well as effectively avoided potential violence and possible injury.
