Description
Book SynopsisPresents a study of the experiences of Mexican men who have same sex with men and who have migrated to the United States. The author situates his analysis within the history of Mexican immigration and offers a broad understanding of diverse migratory experiences ranging from recent gay asylum seekers to an assessment of gay tourism in Mexico.
Trade ReviewIn this path-breaking book, which is startling for what it reveals and what it innovates, Cantú shows how sex and the state are intimately related in one of the greatest dramas of our time, international migration. The Sexuality of Migration is a work of inspiration, integrity, and scholarly creativity. -- Perrette Hondagneu-Sotelo,author of God’s Heart Has No Borders: How Religious Activists Are Working for Immigrant Rights
