Reviews
Editors William E. French and Katherine E. Bliss nicely bring together a wide range of essays that cover the early republican period to the early twenty-first century, touching down in Venezuela, Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and various points in Central America and the Caribbean., This is a terrific collection of new scholarship on sexuality and gender in Latin America....Gender, Sexuality, and Power in Latin America since Independence stands out both for its extremely useful introduction and the truly new directions taken by the essays of the contributing scholars....This collection is noteworthy and refreshing....This well-rendered volume testifies to the vibrancy of the field and deserves wide attention., This exciting collection showcases many of the best young historians of Latin America. With wide-ranging essays covering much of the Americas--and framed by classic gender/sexuality concepts, discourse analysis, and queer theory--the volume provides groundbreaking new research on gender, sexuality, and power and shows why such studies must be central to all future histories of the region., The volume's eleven chapters do a magnificent job of destabilizing binaries. Encompassing ten different countries and almost two hundred years of history, the authors approach the central focus, the relationship between gender, sexuality, and power, from a diversity of perspectives and methodologies.

Synopsis
Featuring the original primary research of a number of leading scholars, this innovative volume integrates gender and sexuality into the main currents of historical interpretation concerning Latin America. The book argues that gender and sexuality--rather than simply supplementing existing explanations of political, social, cultural, and economic phenomena--are central to understanding these processes. Focusing on subjects as varied as murder, motherhood and the death penalty in early Republican Venezuela, dueling in Uruguay, midwifery in Brazil, youth culture in Mexico, and revolution in Nicaragua, contributors explore the many ways that gender and sexuality have been essential to the operation of power in Latin America over the last two hundred years. The linked questions of agency, identity, the body, and ethnicity are woven throughout their analysis. By analyzing a rich array of medical, criminological, juridical, social scientific, and human rights discourses throughout Latin America, the authors challenge students as well as scholars to reconsider our understanding of the past through the lenses of gender and sexuality. Making the case for the centrality of gender and sexuality to any study of political and social relations, this volume also will help chart the future direction of research in Latin American history since Independence., This innovative volume of original primary research integrates gender and sexuality into the main currents of historical interpretation concerning Latin America.
