At the intersection of citizenship, sexuality, and race, a new perspective on the immigrant experience. Immigration from Latin America and Asia has influenced every aspect of social, political, economic, and cultural life in the United States over the past quarter century. However, little attention has been paid to queer immigrants of color. Focusing particularly on migration from Mexico, Cuba, El Salvador, and the Philippines, Queer Migrations brings together scholars of immigration, citizenship, sexuality, race, and ethnicity to provide analyses of the norms, institutions, and discourses that affect queer immigrants of color, also providing ethnographic studies of how these newcomers have transformed established immigrant communities in Miami, San Francisco, and New York. “Lubeheid and Cantu’s excellent anthology is an important contribution to queer migration studies, as it brings together outstanding contributions from a diversity of disciplines and perspectives. The book is useful as a general, basic introduction to those who know nothing about the topic, and also offers nuanced readings of specific topics that will amply satisfy experts and specialists. The book is a vital resource for queer Latin American and Latina/o studies, and its remarkable accessibility also makes it an ideal undergraduate and graduate teaching text. I highly recommend this anthology.” —The Americas “Selections from Queer Migrations would make excellent additions to a course on immigration, on queer studies, or even on race and ethnicity.” —American Studies “This is a tightly woven volume that makes some important interventions. An interesting showcase of recent interdisciplinary work on this topic.” —Journal of American Ethnic History “Queer Migrations powerfully unpacks the ways in which state mechanisms police borders and bodies simultaneously and is an invaluable addition to the scholarship on race, sexuality, and migration.” —Gayatri Gopinath, University of California at Davis “An indispensable guide for anyone wishing to understand how queer sexualities confront, challenge and transform international migration to the United States.” —Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, University of Southern California Contributors: Martin F. Manalansan IV, Susana Peña, Erica Rand, Timothy Randazzo, Horacio N. Roque Ramírez, Alisa Solomon, Siobhan B. Somerville, Alexandra Minna Stern.
