Homecoming Queers Summary

Homecoming Queers: Desire and Difference in Chicana Latina Cultural Production by Marivel T. Danielson

Homecoming Queers provides a critical discussion of the multiple strategies used by queer Latina authors and artists in the United States to challenge silence and invisibility within mainstream media, literary canons, and theater spaces. Marivel T. Danielson's analysis reveals the extensive legacy of these cultural artists, including novelists, filmmakers, students and activists, comedians, performers, and playwrights. By clearly discussing the complexities and universalities of ethnic, racial, sexual, gender, and class intersections between queer Chicana and U.S. Latinas, Danielson explores the multiple ways identity shapes and shades creative expression. Weaknesses and gaps are revealed in the treatment of difference as a whole, within dominant and marginalized communities. Spanning multiple genres and forms, and including scholarly theory alongside performances, films, narratives, and testimonials, ""Homecoming Queers"" leads readers along a crucial path toward understanding and overcoming the silences that previously existed across these fields.

Homecoming Queers Reviews

"Homecoming Queers treats issues central to the formation of queer Latina identity, subjectivity, and representation. The book makes strong interventions in the transdisciplinary locations that comprise Latina/o literary and cultural studies and cultivates the furthering of our engagement in making social change." - Tiffany Ana Lopez, University of California, Riverside"
