Latina/o Sexualities: Probing Powers, Passions, Practices, and Policies

"Latina/o Sexualities is a brilliant collection that provides groundbreaking analyses of the myriad connections between sexuality and race."

Maxine Baca Zinn, Michigan State University

"Filled with provocative arguments and illuminating insights, Latina/o Sexualities marks a new and exciting epoch in the study of human sexuality and its interactions with race and class; a must-read for scholars and students of ethnic studies and human sexuality."

Rafael Díaz, Cesar E. Chavez Institute, San Francisco State University

"A pathbreaking contribution and the definite resource for interdisciplinary scholars in the growing field of Latino sexualities. A highly sophisticated intervention that fills the existing void of empirical research in this area, while drawing from and critically engaging with the social and behavioral science literature. This volume will forever challenge us to rethink the categories, methods and approaches scholars use in this rapidly developing field of study."

Arlene Dávila, author of Latino Spin: Public Image and the Whitewashing of Race

"Two groundbreaking, indispensable guides for serious scholars of sexualities who wish to understand both the heterogeneous sexualities of African Americans and Latinos as well as how greater attention to race, ethnicity, class and culture provides important new directions for the field."

Patricia Hill Collins, author of Black Sexual Politics
