On homosexualities in Latin America (and other places)

Article Abstract:

The Latin American sexual culture is undergoing numerous changes, such as feminist movements, the impact of the AIDS epidemic on the region's moral and sexual fibers, and the increasingly strong presence of organized gay movements amid the emergence of paramilitary death squads on the hunt for gay activists. These events should spark a wide body of work on male same-sex relations in the region. However, an examination of two books on the subject indicates the dearth of anthropological studies on the issue.
