Together the essays examine how ";the unnatural" came to inscribe certain sexual acts and desires as criminal and sinful, including acts officially deemed to be "against nature"-sodomy, bestiality, and masturbation-along with others that approximated the unnatural-hermaphroditism, incest, sex with the devil, solicitation in the confessional, erotic religious visions, and the desecration of holy images. In doing so, this anthology makes important and necessary contributions to the historiography of gender and sexuality. Amid the growing politicized interest in broader LGBTQ movements in Latin America, the essays also show how these legal codes endured to make their way into post-independence Latin America.Latin AmericansSexual behaviorHistorySex crimesLatin AmericaHistorySexLatin AmericaReligious aspectsHistorySex and lawLatin AmericaHistorySexLatin AmericaHistoryalternative sexualities.bestiality.colonial latin america.criminalized sex acts.criminalizing sex.early national period latin america.gender studies.hermaphroditism.history of sex.history of sexuality.illicit sexuality.immoral sex.incest.incestuous sex.latin american colonies.latinx lgbtq.latinx sexuality.lgbtq latin america.masturbation.natural sex acts.natural sexuality.sex and sexuality.sex with the devil.sexuality studies.sodomy.solicitation in the confessional.unnatural sexuality.Latin AmericansSexual behaviorHistory.Sex crimesHistory.SexReligious aspectsHistory.Sex and lawHistory.SexHistory.306.7098Tortorici Zebedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910824870103321Sexuality and the Unnatural in Colonial Latin America4072134UNINA
