He traces an arc from 1960s Puerto Rico and the writings of Luis Rafael S nchez to New York City in the 1970s and 1980s (Manuel Ramos Otero), Philadelphia and New Jersey in the 1980s and 1990s (Luz Mar a Umpierre and Frances Negr n-Muntaner), and Chicago (Rose Troche) and San Francisco (Erika L pez) in the 1990s, culminating with a discussion of Arthur Avil s and Elizabeth Marrero's recent dance-theater work in the Bronx. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Proposing a radical new conceptualization of Puerto Rican migration, this work reveals how sexuality has shaped and defined the Puerto Rican experience in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816640920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816640928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 140","brand":"Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988293484799,"sku":"9780816640928","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3a068c3-2f4c-45bb-b69a-6ae401d4ce39.jpg?v=1683293717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queer-ricans-lawrence-la-fountain-stokes-9780816640928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
