More than any single contemporary, Equiano speaks for the fate of millions of Africans in the era of the transatlantic slave trade. This study attempts to create a rounded portrait of the man behind the literary image, and to study Equiano in the context of Atlantic slavery. 410 0$aBlack Atlantic. 606 $aSlaves$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSlaves 676 $a305.5/67/092 676 $aB 700 $aWalvin$b James$0218359 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454102503321 996 $aAn African's life$92079767 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04582nam 2200769Ia 450 001 9910450070403321 005 20210618022912.0 010 $a1-282-35512-0 010 $a9786612355127 010 $a0-520-93613-2 010 $a1-59875-528-5 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520936133 035 $a(CKB)1000000000030681 035 $a(EBL)231912 035 $a(OCoLC)475938212 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000149010 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11154411 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000149010 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10238124 035 $a(PQKB)11595373 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC231912 035 $a(OCoLC)60312066 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse30806 035 $a(DE-B1597)520360 035 $a(OCoLC)671279671 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520936133 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL231912 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10079967 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL235512 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000030681 100 $a20041008d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#---|u||u 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aErotic journeys$b[electronic resource] $eMexican immigrants and their sex lives /$fGloria Gonza?lez-Lo?pez 210 $aBerkeley $cUniversity of California Press$d2005 215 $a1 online resource (333 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 0 $a0-520-23139-2 311 0 $a0-520-23083-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tAcknowledgments --$tIntroduction --$t1.

In a series of in-depth interviews, Gloria González-López investigates the ways in which sixty heterosexual Mexican women and men living in Los Angeles reinvent their sex lives as part of their immigration and settlement experiences. Defying a broad spectrum of preconceived notions, these immigrants confirm in their vivid narratives that sexuality-far from being culturally determined-is fluid and complex. González-López explains that these Mexicans enter the United States with particular sexual ideologies and practices that, while diverse, are regulated by family ethics and regional patriarchies. After migration, a range of factors-including employment, the risks and dangers of resettlement, social networking with other immigrants, and the new demands of a fast-paced industrialized metropolis-begin to transform the immigrants' intimate lives in deep and unexpected ways. The remarkably candid interviews show that these men and women are skillful negotiating agents of their own sexuality. The author's incisive analysis of their narratives sets the stage for a nuanced and compelling understanding of this complex topic and its many social implications. 606 $aMexican Americans$xSexual behavior$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 606 $aImmigrants$xSexual behavior$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 606 $aMexican Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xSocial conditions 606 $aImmigrants$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xSocial conditions 606 $aSex$xSocial aspects$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xSocial conditions 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xEthnic relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xSexual behavior 615 0$aImmigrants$xSexual behavior 615 0$aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aSex$xSocial aspects 676 $a306.7/089/68720794 700 $aGonza?lez-Lo?pez$b Gloria$f1960-$0962759 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450070403321 996 $aErotic journeys$92477293 997 $aUNINA
