Imagining Latinx Intimacies addresses the ways that artists and
writers resist the social forces of colonialism, displacement, and
oppression through crafting incisive and inspiring responses to the
problems that queer Latinx peoples encounter in both daily lives
and representation such as art, film, poetry, popular culture, and
stories. Instead of keeping quiet, queer Latinx artists and writers
have spoken up as a way of challenging stereotypes, prejudice, and
violence occurring in communities ranging from Puerto Rico to sites
within the mainland United States as well as transnational flows of
migration. Such migrations are explored in several ways including
the movement of queer people from Chile to the United States. To
address these matters, artistic thinkers such as Gloria Anzaldua,
Frances Negron-Muntaner, and Rane Arroyo have challenged such
socio-political problems by imagining intimate social and
intellectual spaces that resist the status quo like homophobic
norms, laws, and policies that hurt families and communities.
Building on the intellectual thought of researchers such as Jorge
Duany, Adriana de Souza e Silva, and Jose Esteban Munoz, this book
explains how the imagined spaces of Latinx LGBTQ peoples are
blueprints for addressing our tumultuous present and creating a
better future.
