Queer Diasporas by Cindy Patton; Benigno Sánchez-Eppler

Essays on how sexuality and sexual identity change as people, ideas and media cross literal and figurative borders. Using literary analysis, ethnography and theories of diaspora and migration, contributors address topics from understandings of the AIDS pandemic to 1950s lesbian pulp fiction, gay Filipino immigrants' use of religious ceremony in New York, Jewishness and homosexuality in Freud, food and gender in Japan, Cuban and Jamaican homoeroticism in Reinaldo Arenas and Claude McKay, and queer zine culture in Quebec.
