Images of Latinos and Latinas in mainstream news and in popular culture suggest a Latin Explosion at center stage, yet the topic of queer identity in relation to Latino\/a America remains under examined. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Juana María Rodríguez attempts to rectify this dearth of scholarship in \u003cb\u003eQueer Latinidad: Identity Practices, Discursive Spaces\u003c\/b\u003e, by documenting the ways in which identities are transformed by encounters with language, the law, culture, and public policy. She identifies three key areas as the project's case studies: activism, primarily HIV prevention; immigration law; and cyberspace. In each, Rodríguez theorizes the ways queer Latino\/a identities are enabled or constrained, melding several theoretical and methodological approaches to argue that these sites are complex and dynamic social fields. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs she moves the reader from one disciplinary location to the other, Rodríguez reveals the seams of her own academic engagement with queer latinidad. This deftly crafted work represents a dynamic and innovative approach to the study of identity formation and representation, making a vital contribution to a new reformulation of gender and sexuality studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRodríguez, Juana María:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eJuana María Rodríguez\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Gender and Women's Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.
