Cinemachismo
After the modern Mexican state came into being following the Revolution of 1910, hyper-masculine machismo came to be a defining characteristic of "mexicanidad," or Mexican national identity. Virile men (pelados and charros), virtuous prostitutes as mother figures, and minstrel-like gay men were held out as desired and/or abject models not only in governmental rhetoric and propaganda, but also in literature and popular culture, particularly in the cinema. Indeed, cinema provided an especially effective staging ground for the construction of a gendered and sexualized national identity. In this book, Sergio de la Mora offers the first extended analysis of how Mexican cinema has represented masc...

The Films of Arturo Ripstein
This book gathers eleven scholarly contributions dedicated to the work of Mexican director Arturo Ripstein. The collection, the first of its kind, constitutes a sustained critical engagement with the twenty-nine films made by this highly acclaimed yet under-studied filmmaker. The eleven essays included come from scholars whose work stands at the intersection of the fields of Latin American and Mexican Film Studies, Gender and Queer Studies, Cultural Studies, History and Literary studies. Ripstein’s films, often scripted by his long-time collaborator, Paz Alicia Garciadiego, represent an unprecedented achievement in Mexican and Latin American film. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Ripstein has successfully maintained a prolific output unmatched by any director in the region. Though several book-length studies have been published in Spanish, French, German, and Greek, to date no analogue exists in English. This volume provides a much-needed contribution to the field.
The Case for Gay Reparations
This book makes the case for why the United States should embrace "gay reparations," or policies intended to make amends for a history of discrimination, stigmatization, and violence against the LGBT community. It contends that gay reparations are a moral imperative for bringing dignity to those whose human rights have been violated because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, for closing painful histories of state-sponsored victimization of LGBT people, and for reminding future generations of past struggles for LGBT equality. To make its case, the book examines how other Western democracies notorious for their oppression of homosexuals have implemented gay reparations--specifically Spain, Britain, and Germany. Their collective experience shows that although there is no universal approach to gay reparations, it is never too late for countries to seek to right past wrongs.

Cultura, homosexualidad y homofobia: Perspectivas gays
En una época de mayores libertades como la actual en la que se va aceptando cada vez más la orientación sexual de la persona, frente al esquema heteronormativo predominante en la sociedad, resulta de interés profundizar en el conocimiento de los aspectos sociales y culturales que rodean al amor y la amistad entre personas del mismo sexo. La amplitud del concepto cultura y las dificultades a que se han enfrentado los homosexuales a través de los tiempos explican el enfoque interdisciplinar de este volumen en el que se han dado cita especialistas en campos tan variados como la sociología y la historia (Fernando Olmeda), la antropología (Óscar Guasch), los medios de comunicación (Jesú...
