Ben. Sifuentes-Jáuregui contrasts Latino American sexual genealogies with the Anglo-European \"coming out\" narrative-and interrogates the centrality of the \"coming out\" story as the regulating metaphor for gay, lesbian, or queer identities. In its place, the book looks at other strategies-from silence to circumlocution, from disavowal to indifference-to theorize queer subject formation in a Latino American cultural context. The analysis of texts by José Lezama Lima, Luis Zapata, Manuel Puig, Severo Sarduy, Junot Díaz, and others offers a comparative approach to understanding how queer sexualities are shaped and written in other cultural contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Avowal of Difference: Queer Latino American Narratives | Ben Sifuentes-Jáuregui | Hardcover | 9781438454252 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1788398","offer_id":67857724080280,"sku":"1788398","price":91.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51T6f-mDMUL.jpg?v=1793495117","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/avowal-of-difference-queer-latino-american-narratives","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
