ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "In 1969 I was 13 years old and just becoming aware of my homosexuality, although I didn't even know the word or the concept. My life as a lesbian began exactly at the same time as the gay rights movement, and has occurred parallel to it during five decades." In a testimony that looks at the last fifty years, Marina Castañeda, author of the classic titles The Homosexual Experience and The Invisible Male Chauvinism, relates how she has lived with her homosexuality in her personal, social, and professional life, in parallel with the historic advances of the gay rights movement since its inception. In a text that combines anecdotes and reflections based on her life, research and therapeutic consultations, she describes without taboos her romantic relationships, and the reactions of her family, colleagues and immediate environment to her sexual orientation. She talks about the privileges of being gay, but also its costs. At the same time, she examines the big social, cultural, and judicial changes that she has lived through, the questions of today about sexual diversity and the challenges of the future. An indispensible book for those who are interested in the evolution of human relationships.
Download or read book Gay New York written by George Chauncey and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning, field-defining history of gay life in New York City in the early to mid-20th century Gay New York brilliantly shatters the myth that before the 1960s gay life existed only in the closet, where gay men were isolated, invisible, and self-hating. Drawing on a rich trove of diaries, legal records, and other unpublished documents, George Chauncey constructs a fascinating portrait of a vibrant, cohesive gay world that is not supposed to have existed. Called "monumental" (Washington Post), "unassailable" (Boston Globe), "brilliant" (The Nation), and "a first-rate book of history" (The New York Times), Gay New Yorkforever changed how we think about the history of gay life in New York City, and beyond.
Download or read book Global gay written by Frédéric Martel and published by TAURUS. This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una investigación sin precedentes alrededor del mundo sobre la cuestión gay. De una esquina a otra del planeta, la revolución gay está en marcha. De la resistencia contra la represión en China, Cuba o Irán al activismo a favor del matrimonio para parejas del mismo sexo en Estados Unidos y en Europa. De lo underground al mainstream. De la criminalización de la homosexualidad a la criminalización de la homofobia. Durante cinco años Frédéric Martel ha llevado a cabo un estudio sin precedentes en cuarenta y cinco países, desde los más abiertos a los más hostiles, reuniéndose con centenares de actores de esta revolución. A través de ese novedoso prisma, este libro dibuja una verdadera geopolítica de la globalización gay analizando los cambios en los modos de vida, la redefinición del matrimonio, la emancipación paralela de las mujeres y los homosexuales o el impacto decisivo que han supuesto Internet y las redes sociales. Aunque se desarrollen bajo una misma bandera, las singularidades de la vida local y la ausencia de homogeneidad de las comunidades gays de todo el mundo son fascinantes. Martel descubre que la globalización no se traduce necesariamente en uniformización: la diversidad es infinita. Como termómetro de la evolución de las mentalidades, la cuestión gay se ha convertido en un valioso criterio para juzgar el estado de una democracia y la modernidad de un país. Este libro, rico en retratos y testimonios sorprendentes, cuenta este nuevo frente en el que ahora se libra la batalla por los derechos del hombre. Reseñas: «Libro-investigación que se lee como una historia que cuenta la nueva batalla de los derechos humanos.» Slate «La homosexualidad presenta mil caras distintas en todo el mundo y este formidable ensayo sociológico sobre la revolución gay firmado por Frédéric Martel ofrece una síntesis esclarecedora.» Le Point «Cuando Frédéric Martel dice que se ha propuesto averiguar cómo funciona un fenómeno de masas, va en serio. Quiere decir que va a pasar años viajando por una cincuentena de países de todo el mundo, que va a entrevistar a miles de personajes pequeños y grandes y va a escribir un libro con conclusiones a las que pocos hemos llegado antes.» ICON
Download or read book La nueva adolescencia homosexual written by Ritch C. Savin-Williams and published by . This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro ofrece un original y profundo examen sobre la nueva adolescencia homosexual, basado en numerosas investigaciones, contextualizándolas históricamente y tomando en consideración los discursos sociopolíticos dominantes acerca de las relaciones gays, lesbianas y bisexuales. Ritch C. SAVIN-WILLIAMS, apoyado en un importante cuerpo de datos cuantitativos y cualitativos, recoge con realismo y rigor la opinión de jóvenes que hablan sobre sí mismos. La tesis que el autor sostiene es que la juventud actual está rompiendo las limitaciones de las identidades gays, lesbianas y bisexuales. Revisa de un modo minucioso los hechos y datos referidos al sentimiento de ser diferentes, a las atracciones de personas del mismo sexo, a la primera relación sexual y a las identidades sexuales, insiste en que las experiencias vividas por muchos adolescentes no se traducen en inequívocas identidades gays, lesbianas, bisexuales o heterosexuales; ni ellos se perciben a sí mismos como queer. El autor aclara qué es lo que realmente cuenta en la identidad sexual de un adolescente. En cualquier caso, éstos, a diferencia de lo que piensan un buen número de investigadores de las ciencias sociales, no están especialmente interesados en categorizar cuidadosamente su orientación sexual. El autor discute la imagen que muchos profesionales en salud mental nos presentan acerca del colectivo adolescente de gays y lesbianas, en especial cuando aparecen como drogodependientes, personas aisladas, con tendencias suicidas, con estrés y otras patologías. SAVIN-WILLIAMS va más allá y se pregunta por qué se ha llegado a esas conclusiones. Las nuevas generaciones tienen ideas cada vez más abiertas sobre la sexualidad, probablemente esto creará enormes cambios culturales en las próximas décadas. Pero existe una brecha entre lo que se está consiguiendo en el mundo real de la juventud de hoy y lo que conocen y asumen diversos profesionales de la investigación, de la salud física y mental, el profesorado, los dirigentes religiosos, personalidades de la política, responsables de diferentes servicios, y padres y madres. La lectura de esta obra será muy provechosa para las personas y especialistas relacionados con la juventud y, como subraya el autor, también para los propios adolescentes. * Este libro fue premiado en el año 2005 por la American Psychological Association.
Download or read book Companero written by Jorge G. Castañeda and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-07-16 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time he was killed in the jungles of Bolivia, where his body was displayed like a deposed Christ, Ernesto "Che" Guevara had become a synonym for revolution everywhere from Cuba to the barricades of Paris. This extraordinary biography peels aside the veil of the Guevara legend to reveal the charismatic, restless man behind it. Drawing on archival materials from three continents and on interviews with Guevara's family and associates, Castaneda follows Che from his childhood in the Argentine middle class through the years of pilgrimage that turned him into a committed revolutionary. He examines Guevara's complex relationship with Fidel Castro, and analyzes the flaws of character that compelled him to leave Cuba and expend his energies, and ultimately his life, in quixotic adventures in the Congo and Bolivia. A masterpiece of scholarship, Companero is the definitive portrait of a figure who continues to fascinate and inspire the world over.
Download or read book The Invention of Heterosexuality written by Jonathan Ned Katz and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Heterosexuality,” assumed to denote a universal sexual and cultural norm, has been largely exempt from critical scrutiny. In this boldly original work, Jonathan Ned Katz challenges the common notion that the distinction between heterosexuality and homosexuality has been a timeless one. Building on the history of medical terminology, he reveals that as late as 1923, the term “heterosexuality” referred to a "morbid sexual passion," and that its current usage emerged to legitimate men and women having sex for pleasure. Drawing on the works of Sigmund Freud, James Baldwin, Betty Friedan, and Michel Foucault, The Invention of Heterosexuality considers the effects of heterosexuality’s recently forged primacy on both scientific literature and popular culture. “Lively and provocative.”—Carol Tavris, New York Times Book Review “A valuable primer . . . misses no significant twists in sexual politics.”—Gary Indiana, Village Voice Literary Supplement “One of the most important—if not outright subversive—works to emerge from gay and lesbian studies in years.”—Mark Thompson, The Advocate
Download or read book Gay and Lesbian Themes in Latin American Writing written by David William Foster and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-12-06 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A taboo subject in many cultures, homosexuality has been traditionally repressed in Latin America, both as a way of life and as a subject for literature. Yet numerous writers have attempted to break the cultural silence surrounding homosexuality, using various strategies to overtly or covertly discuss lesbian and gay themes. In this study, David William Foster examines more than two dozen texts that deal with gay and lesbian topics, drawing from them significant insights into the relationship between homosexuality and society in different Latin American countries and time periods. Foster's study includes works both sympathetic and antagonistic to homosexuality, showing the range of opinion on this topic. The preponderance of his examples come from Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, countries with historically active gay communities, although he also includes material on other countries. Noteworthy among the authors covered are Reinaldo Arenas, Adolfo Caminha, Isaac Chocrón, José Donoso, Sylvia Molloy, Alejandra Pizarnik, and Luis Zapata.
Download or read book The Health of Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender People written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-06-24 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals-often referred to under the umbrella acronym LGBT-are becoming more visible in society and more socially acknowledged, clinicians and researchers are faced with incomplete information about their health status. While LGBT populations often are combined as a single entity for research and advocacy purposes, each is a distinct population group with its own specific health needs. Furthermore, the experiences of LGBT individuals are not uniform and are shaped by factors of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geographical location, and age, any of which can have an effect on health-related concerns and needs. The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People assesses the state of science on the health status of LGBT populations, identifies research gaps and opportunities, and outlines a research agenda for the National Institute of Health. The report examines the health status of these populations in three life stages: childhood and adolescence, early/middle adulthood, and later adulthood. At each life stage, the committee studied mental health, physical health, risks and protective factors, health services, and contextual influences. To advance understanding of the health needs of all LGBT individuals, the report finds that researchers need more data about the demographics of these populations, improved methods for collecting and analyzing data, and an increased participation of sexual and gender minorities in research. The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People is a valuable resource for policymakers, federal agencies including the National Institute of Health (NIH), LGBT advocacy groups, clinicians, and service providers.
Download or read book Latin American Writers on Gay and Lesbian Themes written by David William Foster and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1994-11-07 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gay and lesbian themes in Latin American literature have been largely ignored. This reference fills this gap by providing more than a hundred alphabetically arranged entries for Latin American authors who have treated gay or lesbian material in their works. Each entry explores the significance of gay and lesbian themes in a particular author's writings and closes with a bibliography of primary and secondary sources. The figures included have a professed gay identity, or have written on gay or lesbian themes in either a positive or negative way, or have authored works in which a gay sensibility can be identified. The volume pays particular attention to the difficulty of ascribing North American critical perspectives to Latin American authors, and studies these authors within the larger context of Latin American culture. The book includes entries for men and women, and for authors from Latin American countries as well as Latino writers from the United States. The entries are written by roughly 60 expert contributors from Latin America, the U.S., and Europe.

Download or read book Un Momento en la Vida de Mi Pueblo written by Luis Mulford and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro habla de los varios aspectos de la vida de un pueblo de antaño. Su folklore, sus costumbres, su picardía, su sanidad, sus valores, su moralidad, y sobre todo habla del pensamiento de algunos de sus hombres. Un pueblo en donde todos se conocían y se trataban como familia, en donde no había ni secretos ni intimidades que se pudieran ocultar. Los personajes de Zambrano en estas crónicas son y fueron reales. He cambiado algunos de sus nombres por respeto y deferencia a sus memorias. Los sucesos que a ellos se atribuyen por lo general fueron ciertos, salvo que talvez algunos han podido ser un poco exagerados o embellecidos por las Fuentes que los proveyeron. Parte del lenguaje usado aquí podría ser crudo y tal vez ofensivo para algunas personas.
Download or read book Our Caribbean written by Thomas Glave and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book of its kind, Our Caribbean is an anthology of lesbian and gay writing from across the Antilles. The author and activist Thomas Glave has gathered outstanding fiction, nonfiction, memoir, and poetry by little-known writers together with selections by internationally celebrated figures such as José Alcántara Almánzar, Reinaldo Arenas, Dionne Brand, Michelle Cliff, Audre Lorde, Achy Obejas, and Assotto Saint. The result is an unprecedented literary conversation on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered experiences throughout the Caribbean and its far-flung diaspora. Many selections were originally published in Spanish, Dutch, or creole languages; some are translated into English here for the first time. The thirty-seven authors hail from the Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, St. Vincent, St. Kitts, Suriname, and Trinidad. Many have lived outside the Caribbean, and their writing depicts histories of voluntary migration as well as exile from repressive governments, communities, and families. Many pieces have a political urgency that reflects their authors' work as activists, teachers, community organizers, and performers. Desire commingles with ostracism and alienation throughout: in the evocative portrayals of same-sex love and longing, and in the selections addressing religion, family, race, and class. From the poem "Saturday Night in San Juan with the Right Sailors" to the poignant narrative "We Came All the Way from Cuba So You Could Dress Like This?" to an eloquent call for the embrace of difference that appeared in the Nassau Daily Tribune on the eve of an anti-gay protest, Our Caribbean is a brave and necessary book.
