Latinx and Radical Queerness of Color

Catalog description

This course explores how Latin American and Caribbean queer diasporic cultures have assimilated, challenged, influenced, deconstructed, and/or transformed gender and sexual categories. We will review a constellation of case studies such as the San Francisco Gay Latino Alliance, the Young Lord Movement, the queer subversion in Mexican Chican@ art activism, and Latinx support for rights movements in the Trump era. To this end, Latinx and Radical Queerness reviews critical theoretical selections, monographs, fictional accounts, visual art, and oral history.
