Contemporary wisdom on young masculinities suggests discursive flexibility through which maleness is constituted and contested in the diverse tensions that make up the practices of everyday life. This essay follows the story of Quixote, a child migrant laborer, and the evolving truth of his journey into diaspora and how that influences his ideas of manhood. It comprises a voyage that involves a continuous resituation of boundaries and the complex ways that young people are hugely responsible for the ways meaning-making circulates across space and through time. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.
