Balderston and Guy assert that the study of sexuality in Latin America requires a break with the Anglo-European model of gender that has dominated the perceptions of other regions of the world. To this end, they have gathered essays that focus on the uncertain and contingent nature of sexual identity.
Covering topics ranging from transvestism to the world of tango, and countries as diverse as Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, this volume takes a dynamic and interdisciplinary approach to a topic often mired in abstract, abstruse theoretical language.
Organized around three central themes - control and repression; the politics and culture of resistance; and sexual transgression as affirmation of marginalized identity - this intriguing collection will challenge and inform conceptions of Latin American sexuality.
