LATIN AMERICAN GENDER AND SEXUALITIES
-
ABOUT THE SERIES
The Latin American Gender and Sexualities series is a timely addition to current scholarship on
gender and sexuality. In the last decade, a number of Latin American governments are showing
openness to new kinds of sexualities through public policy. The study of gender and sexuality also
developed during that time to examine questions of power, nationalism, and changing identities
within the social fabric of Latin American countries. Because of its appeal ranging from gender and
feminist studies to queer theory, this series is a vibrant component of Latin American studies
looking at the intersection of gender and culture.
Works include book-length studies and essay collections that combine the methodologies and
insights of cultural studies and literature with those of history, anthropology, and other social
sciences.
