Representing Queer and Transgender Identity

This is the first book-length study of transgender and queer identities in Hispanic Caribbean novels, graphic novels, theatre, and performance art. The author follows the movement of identity from textual spaces to spaces of the body, revealing the variety of representational strategies that dismantle binary readings of gender, sexuality, and nationality. Fluid Bodies demonstrates how transgender and queer subjects reshape and redefine gendered and national belonging through global movement and community making practices.
