Exploring cultural expressions of Puerto Rican queer migration from
the Caribbean to New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and San
Francisco, Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes analyzes how artists have
portrayed their lives and the discrimination they have faced in
both Puerto Rico and the United States. Highlighting cultural and
political resistance within Puerto Rico's gay, lesbian, bisexual,
and transgender subcultures, La Fountain-Stokes pays close
attention to differences of gender, historical moment, and
generation, arguing that Puerto Rican queer identity changes over
time and is experienced in very different ways. He traces an arc
from 1960s Puerto Rico and the writings of Luis Rafael Sanchez to
New York City in the 1970s and 1980s (Manuel Ramos Otero),
Philadelphia and New Jersey in the 1980s and 1990s (Luz Maria
Umpierre and Frances Negron-Muntaner), and Chicago (Rose Troche)
and San Francisco (Erika Lopez) in the 1990s, culminating with a
discussion of Arthur Aviles and Elizabeth Marrero's recent
dance-theater work in the Bronx. Proposing a radical new
conceptualization of Puerto Rican migration, this work reveals how
sexuality has shaped and defined the Puerto Rican experience in the
United States.
