ISBN: 9780814726426 / Angielski / Miękka / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Americans have long held fast to a rigid definition of womanhood, revolving around husband, home, and children.

Tropics of Desire: Interventions from Queer Latino America
ISBN: 9780814769522 / Angielski / Twarda / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Jose Quiroga flips the stereotype upside down: he shows how Latin/o American lesbians and gay men have consistently eschewed notions of sexual identity for a politics of intervention. In Tropics of Desire, Quiroga reads hesitant Mexican poets...
