Book News Annotation:

Proposing that sexuality is as relevant as economic, political, and social factors in shaping and defining Puerto Rican migration to the United States, La Fountain-Stokes (U. of Michigan) traces how attitudes towards stigmatized forms of same-sex sexuality and gender variance provoked and affected Puerto Rican migration from the late 1960s to the 2000s and how Puerto Rican cultural producers have responded to this fact. He traces changes in how sexuality has impacted Puerto Rican immigration in historical, gendered, and geospatial dimensions. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
