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.
Featuring the original primary research of leading scholars in Latin American studies, this collection of essays integrates gender and sexuality into current historical interpretations concerning Latin America. The contributors focus on diverse topics, such as dueling in Uruguay, youth culture in Mexico, and revolution in Nicaragua, but all conclude that gender and sexuality have been essential to the operation of power in Latin America over the past 200 years.
