Samenvatting |
The authors of the essays in this collection explore the lives and cultural contributions of gay Latino men in the United States, while also analyzing the political and theoretical stakes of gay Latino studies. In new essays and influential previously published pieces, Latino scholars based in American studies, ethnic studies, history, performance studies, and sociology consider gay Latino scholarly and cultural work in relation to mainstream gay, lesbian, and queer academic discourses and the broader field of Chicano and Latino studies. They also critique cultural explanations of gay Latino sexual identity and behavior, examine artistic representations of queer Latinidad, and celebrate the place of dance in gay Latino culture. Designed to stimulate dialogue, the collection pairs each essay with a critical response by a prominent Latino/a or Chicana/o scholar. Terms such as gay, identity, queer, and visibility are contested throughout the volume; the significance of these debates is often brought to the fore in the commentaries. The essays in Gay Latino Studies complement and overlap with the groundbreaking work of lesbians of color and critical race theorists, as well as queer theorists and gay and lesbian studies scholars. Taken together, they offer much-needed insight into the lives and perspectives of gay, bisexual, and queer Latinos, and they renew attention to the politics of identity and coalition. |

Samenvatting |
Down-low (also "on the down low" or "on the DL"): Men who identify as straight, but have sex with men on the side without disclosing this to their female partner. In deze documentaire vertellen vier zwarte Amerikanen hoe zij de spagaat maken tussen het hebben van seks met mannen en het zich toch niet definiëren als homoman. Vaak weten hun omgeving en hun vrouwelijke partners niets van dit dilemma. Mannelijkheid en dan vooral de manier waarop zwarte mannen dit vormgeven lijkt het grootste struikelblok op weg naar een eventuele coming-out. |

Samenvatting |
Hoe hetero's in de Surinaamse gemeenschap (in Suriname en Nederland) omgaan met homoseksualiteit; de hetero's waar Sandew Hira het over heeft, zijn de ouders, familieleden en vrienden van Surinaamse homo's en lesbiennes. Daarom is hij op zoek gegaan naar de verhalen van homo's en hetero's over het spanningsveld tussen liefde voor een familielid of vriend en gehechtheid aan tradities die doordrongen zijn van weerzin tegen verboden liefdes. Cultuur staat voor een brede mix van geloof, waarden en normen, overgeleverde opvattingen van generatie op generatie. In die cultuur is liefde van mannen voor mannen en vrouwen voor vrouwen een verboden liefde. |
