This book defies long standing assumptions about indigenous
societies in the Americas and shows that non-heteronormative
sexualities were already present among native peoples in different
regions of what is now Latin America before the arrival of European
colonizers. Presenting data collected from both literature and
field research, the authors give examples of native queer
traditions in different cultural regions, such as Mesoamerica, the
Amazon and the Andes, and analyze how colonization gradually
imposed the models of sexuality and family organization considered
as normal by the European settlers using methods such as forced
labor, physical punishments and forced marriages. Building upon
post-colonial and queer theories, Queer Natives in Latin America:
Forbidden Chapters of Colonial History reveals a little known
aspect of the colonization of the Americas: how a
bureaucratic-administrative, political and psychological apparatus
was created and developed to normalize indigenous sexuality,
shaping them to the colonial order.
