Dr. David Sequeira [https://drdavidsequeira.com/]'s latest book, The Machismo and Marianismo Tango [https://www.amazon.com/Machismo-Marianismo-Tango-David-Sequeira-ebook/dp/B0CW1F8R9S/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0], offers a nuanced exploration of gender roles in Hispanic culture [https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-machismo-and-marianismo-tango-david-sequeira/1015824487?ean=9781641338103], blending social and cultural analysis with insights from psychology, lived experiences, and decades of research. The book delves into the complexities of gender identity and relationships within the framework of Latin American cultural norms.
At the heart of the book are the intertwined dynamics of machismo and marianismo - two concepts that shape patriarchal systems and feminine ideals in many Hispanic communities. Dr. Sequeira examines how these traditions influence expectations in families, relationships, and society, often reinforcing patterns of inequality. He also links these cultural patterns to broader themes such as PTSD within Hispanic communities, resilience amid gender dynamics, and the ways these expectations are both upheld and challenged.
"The Machismo and Marianismo Tango is not only a deep dive into gender roles in Hispanic culture but also a reflection on how these roles affect both men and women," said Sequeira, who is scheduled to have an interview in The Spotlight Network with Logan Crawford on May 16, 2025, Friday, 9:30am-10:30am (Pacific Time). "The psychological consequences, especially for women who endure domestic abuse linked to machismo, are profound and often go unnoticed."
Drawing from gender studies and psychology, the book explores how these roles are passed down through generations, shaping identities, relationships, and community life. Dr. Sequeira's analysis highlights the intersection of cultural psychology with the social and cultural underpinnings of patriarchal systems, making it relevant to readers interested in gender studies, Latin American cultural norms [https://www.amazon.com/Machismo-Marianismo-Tango-David-Sequeira-ebook/dp/B0CW1F8R9S/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0], and the personal and societal impact of deeply rooted beliefs.
Early readers on Amazon have shared positive reactions to the book. Jeyran described it as "a thought-provoking exploration of gender roles in Hispanic culture... Sequeira offers a crucial discussion on the intersection of culture, gender expectations, and PTSD. A compelling read for those interested in sociology, psychology, and gender studies."
Phil wrote, "The book is informative and gives the reader a solid understanding of what these two words [machismo and marianismo] mean and how they play off each other in the culture. I found the section on PTSD to be very helpful... I plan to use what I have learned here as a way to understand the culture and spot warning signs of abuse so I can be an effective teacher and advocate."
Grace added, "I loved how it dives deep into the cultural dynamics of machismo and marianismo, exploring how these traditional gender roles shape relationships, identities, and behaviors. Dr. Sequeira's approach is both academic and accessible, making complex cultural concepts easy to understand."
Sequeira's work avoids sensationalism, offering a clear and reflective narrative suited for academics, students, and general readers alike. His book brings a fresh perspective to discussions on gender identity and relationships while confronting difficult themes like machismo and domestic abuse, underscoring the importance of awareness and cultural sensitivity.
About the Author
Dr. David Sequeira, a United States citizen since 1975, was born in Nakuru, Kenya, and spent his early years in Goa, India. He holds advanced degrees from institutions across India, Switzerland, and the United States, including a Ph.D. in clinical and social psychology from the Wright Institute of Los Angeles.
Dr. Sequeira's academic journey and missionary work in Brazil gave him firsthand insights into the societal effects of patriarchal systems and gender expectations. His early dissertation on machismo stirred controversy, but today, enriched by years of additional research and personal observation, it serves as the foundation for The Machismo and Marianismo Tango. He currently practices clinical psychology in Southern California.
