In new essays and influential previously published pieces, Latino scholars based in American studies, ethnic studies, history, performance studies, and sociology consider gay Latino scholarly and cultural work in relation to mainstream gay, lesbian, and queer academic discourses and the broader field of Chicano and Latino studies. They also critique cultural explanations of gay Latino sexual identity and behavior, examine artistic representations of queer Latinidad, and celebrate the place of dance in gay Latino culture. Designed to stimulate dialogue, the collection pairs each essay with a critical response by a prominent Latino\/a or Chicana\/o scholar. Terms such as \u003ci\u003egay\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eidentity\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003equeer\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003evisibility\u003c\/i\u003e are contested throughout the volume; the significance of these debates is often brought to the fore in the commentaries. The essays in \u003ci\u003eGay Latino Studies\u003c\/i\u003e complement and overlap with the groundbreaking work of lesbians of color and critical race theorists, as well as queer theorists and gay and lesbian studies scholars. Taken together, they offer much-needed insight into the lives and perspectives of gay, bisexual, and queer Latinos, and they renew attention to the politics of identity and coalition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e.
