Opis

This book articulates a communicative praxis for resisting multiple forms of oppression by showing how everyday performances of identity and culture challenge master narratives of power and control. As an emancipatory tool, it recenters nonheteronormative Latinx experience difference as a managed form of queer of color worldmaking.

Recenzje

"In Jotería Communication Studies, Robert Gutierrez-Perez invites us into a personal, political, and ambitious new story of communications studies for everyday life. Gutierrez-Perez literally writes and works joteria as theory and method for those whose queer marginalization can never be known in totality, giving credence to the lived-experience and felt-experience as rich, epistemological treasure. This poetic and pointed work provides a window into the future of communication studies and theories of communication-covering much-needed ground through storytelling, theory-making, and speaking unapologetic truths." -Jeffrey Q. McCune, Jr., Director, Frederick Douglass Institute of African & African-American Studies
