This jewel radiates a dazzling intellect that is equal parts luminous and raunchy; unafraid of spreading open the glory holes of sexual subjectivity. With México as its fleshy and perverse center, this text demands scholarly attention to the ways sex permeates the visceral core of Latin/x América. Bottoms Up rethinks life, death, solidarity and ethics from the bottom, fucking with our ideas of politics and performance in the best ways. Go ahead, consent to be undone. * Juana María Rodríguez, author of Sexual Futures, Queer Gestures, and Other Latina Longings * Ambitious and field-shifting. By engaging diverse genealogies of scholarly, critical, and theoretical work across queer, trans, race, Latin(x) American, and performance studies, Bottoms Up makes critical and needed interventions into the business as usual of hetero-patriarchal national projects and their imperial and diasporic extensions. Xiomara Cervantes-Gomez’s book makes groundbreaking core claims about the creative and representational uses of ‘bottom’ sex in queer and trans of color practices of performance, and of art more generally, and her close readings of artistic, performance, and literary archives are remarkably insightful, acute, and granular. * Ricardo Ortiz, Georgetown University *
