Marivel T. Danielson's analysis reveals the extensive legacy of these cultural artists, including novelists, filmmakers, students and activists, comedians, performers, and playwrights. By clearly discussing the complexities and universalities of ethnic, racial, sexual, gender, and class intersections between queer Chicana and U.S. Latinas, Danielson explores the multiple ways identity shapes and shades creative expression. Weaknesses and gaps are revealed in the treatment of difference as a whole, within dominant and marginalized communities. Spanning multiple genres and forms, and including scholarly theory alongside performances, films, narratives, and testimonials, Homecoming Queers leads readers along a crucial path toward understanding and overcoming the silences that previously existed across these fields. 410 0$aLatinidad. 606 $aAmerican literature$xHispanic American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLesbians' writings, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHome in literature 606 $aHispanic Americans in the performing arts 606 $aHispanic American lesbians$xIntellectual life 606 $aSpace in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHispanic American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLesbians' writings, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHome in literature. 615 0$aHispanic Americans in the performing arts. 615 0$aHispanic American lesbians$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aSpace in literature. 676 $a700.86/643 700 $aDanielson$b Marivel T$01109950 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822962003321 996 $aHomecoming Queers$92634861 997 $aUNINA
