Описание: Winner, LGBT Studies Lammy Award presented by Lambda Literary Neither queer theory nor queer activism has fully reckoned with the role of race in the emergence of the modern gay subject. In A Taste for Brown Bodies, Hiram P'rez traces the development of gay modernity and its continued romanticization of the brown body. Focusing in particular on three figures with elusive queer histories--the sailor, the soldier, and the cowboy-- P'rez unpacks how each has been memorialized and desired for their heroic masculinity while at the same time functioning as agents for the expansion of the US borders and neocolonial zones of influence.
Describing an enduring homonationalism dating to the "birth" of the homosexual in the late 19th century, P'rez considers not only how US imperialist expansion was realized, but also how it was visualized for and through gay men. By means of an analysis of literature, film, and photographs from the 19th to the 21st centuries--including Herman Melville's Billy Budd, Anne Proulx's "Brokeback Mountain," and photos of abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison--P'rez proposes that modern gay male identity, often traced to late Victorian constructions of "invert" and "homosexual," occupies not the periphery of the nation but rather a cosmopolitan position, instrumental to projects of war, colonialism, and neoliberalism. A Taste for Brown Bodies argues that practices and subjectivities that we understand historically as forms of homosexuality have been regulated and normalized as an extension of the US nation-state, laying bare the tacit, if complex, participation of gay modernity within US imperialism.

Описание: Mi lucha por la libertad es la historia clandestina, vivida con pasi n y escrita con precisi n, de un hombre que arriesg en innumerables ocasiones su vida por la causa de la libertad de Cuba. A la vieja usanza, metiendo el pecho y desafiando las balas, el protagonista de este libro logr crecerse ante las acechanzas y los continuos obst culos que levantaron ante l los agentes de dos dictaduras sucesivas, las de Fulgencio Batista y Fidel Castro. La lucha de Hiram Gonz lez recorre estas p ginas con la plasticidad, la armon a y la desfachatez narrativa del mejor gui n cinematogr fico. En estas escenas de pel cula, la audacia es el arma secreta de los perseguidos y la inteligencia, es una v a inesperada y picaresca para sobrevivir en una Habana donde, paulatinamente, el fervor procastrista de los primeros a os "revolucionarios" convert a en poco menos que suicida el enfrentamiento al r gimen de los hermanos Castro (mucho m s el enfrentamiento frontal, violento), con un delator en potencia en cada esquina y en cada cuadra un comit , hab a que ser muy astuto, muy audaz y visionario para combatir la tiran a y sobrevivir en libertad. Este es un recorrido de principio a fin por la acci n, el peligro y la temeridad. Atemperado por la modestia del autor, ennoblecido por un idealismo libertario y barrido por r fagas de ametralladora. No obstante, en las situaciones m s opresivas, hay espacio en l para el humor y la picard a criolla. Hiram Gonz lez consigue regalarnos con esta historia "del hombre que logr burlar dos veces, los f rreos controles de las c rceles castristas," una novela-testimonio seductora y un documento hist rico de incalculable valor. Una historia de la lucha contra la opresi n que las nuevas generaciones de cubanos deber an conservar como libro de cabecera.
