Images of Latinos and Latinas in mainstream news and in popular culture suggest a Latin Explosion at center stage, yet the topic of queer identity in relation to Latino\/a America remains under examined. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Juana María Rodríguez attempts to rectify this dearth of scholarship in \u003cb\u003eQueer Latinidad: Identity Practices, Discursive Spaces\u003c\/b\u003e, by documenting the ways in which identities are transformed by encounters with language, the law, culture, and public policy. She identifies three key areas as the project's case studies: activism, primarily HIV prevention; immigration law; and cyberspace. In each, Rodríguez theorizes the ways queer Latino\/a identities are enabled or constrained, melding several theoretical and methodological approaches to argue that these sites are complex and dynamic social fields. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs she moves the reader from one disciplinary location to the other, Rodríguez reveals the seams of her own academic engagement with queer latinidad. This deftly crafted work represents a dynamic and innovative approach to the study of identity formation and representation, making a vital contribution to a new reformulation of gender and sexuality studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juana María Rodríguez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814775497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814775493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.06h x 5.30w x 0.81d","brand":"Juana María Rodríguez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46767120777471,"sku":"9780814775493","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_483b7a30-b3d5-486d-abc0-75d8eb2f52f8.jpg?v=1744168910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queer-latinidad-juana-marza-rodrzguez-9780814775493","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
