Queer Issues in Contemporary Latin American Cinema

More about the book

Focusing on queer studies, this analysis of contemporary Latin American cinema examines how filmmakers address gender identity, sexual difference, and the pervasive homophobia that upholds patriarchal norms. David William Foster provides insightful queer interpretations of fourteen significant films, illustrating how they advocate for antiheterosexist perspectives while revealing the societal pressures that reinforce heterosexuality. This study highlights the intersection of culture and sexuality in a region rich with diverse narratives.
