Recenzje

'In this first book by a single author on the politics of gay marriage in Latin America, Jordi Díez … offers his take on why gay marriage has met divergent receptions across the region. As such, the book is both path-breaking and a welcome addition to the growing scholarship on Latin American gay rights politics.' Omar G. Encarnacion, ReVista: Harvard Review of Latin America
