This book is the first compilation dedicated exclusively to Latin American queer history. For decades, historiography has neglected queer issues, but this book demonstrates that it is not a marginal topic: rethinking sexuality and gender in the past makes it possible to rewrite the political, social, and cultural history of Latin America. From Afro-American religions to urbanism, including state repression and liberation movements, this work brings together studies from Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico to show that queer history transforms our understanding of the past in its entirety. With chapters written by prestigious specialists from Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, the United States, and Spain, this volume offers a rigorous and innovative overview of a rapidly expanding field. More than a mere recovery of forgotten memories, this book challenges imposed categories and demonstrates that queer history not only revises the past but also engages with the present and contests the future.
