Explore a little-known side of the lesbian artistic world!  With this book, you'll explore the work of the most significant contemporary Latina lesbian writers, artists, and performers in the United States, Latin America, and Spain. This book presents and analyzes literature, art, and poetry by women who, despite markedly different backgrounds and experiences, are all strongly influenced by the concept of lesbian identity.  Latina Lesbian Writers and Artists begins with an essential A-to-Z overview of modern Latina lesbian authors and performers.
