Through insightful and probing analyses of poetry, short fiction, personal narrative, film, and visual art, Edward Chamberlain examines alternative queer/Latinx worlds in the making from reformulations of home space to the crafting of public spaces of intimacy and community resistant to racism, homophobia, transphobia, displacement, and the effects of colonisation. A major contribution to comparative queer studies that investigates new spaces of belonging that have emerged as critical responses to damaging and oppressive social relations.--William J. Spurlin, Professor of English and Vice-Dean, College of Business, Arts & Social Sciences, Brunel University London In a time when walls and borders are being erected, Edward Chamberlain's urgency to build bridges connecting differences, becomes an imperative effort to create safe spaces for new coalitions to flourish. Physical or imaginary, these geographies are necessary to sustain a sense of belonging, healing, community and self-development that will ultimately empower Latinx groups. Chamberlain's book contributes, therefore, to a growing literature on Latinx and queer studies by shedding light to new aesthetic and political interventions based on intersectional intimacies.--Irune del Rio Gabiola, Professor of Spanish and Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies, Butler University Imagining LatinX Intimacies highlights queer social relations and the analysis of different types of space in contemporary literature and film by Chicanx, Puerto Rican, and Chilean American lesbian and gay artists in the United States. Edward A. Chamberlain's provocative readings of geography, family, and society illuminate how art creates community, challenges orthodoxies, and works to transform our lives.--Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes, Professor of American Culture, Romance Languages, and Women's Studies, University of Michigan Through an analysis of intimate, quotidian, and unassuming spaces, Imagining Latinx Intimacies presents a timely analysis of Latinx LGBTQ artists and authors creating new artistic and virtual spaces to cultivate intimacy, community, and connections. Chamberlain deftly illustrates how Latinx LGBTQ people challenge the imposition of U.S.-based heteronormativity while creating spaces that celebrate and nourish queer intimacy.--Alexandra Gonzenbach Perkins, Assistant Professor of Spanish, Texas State University In a time when walls and borders are being erected, Edward Chamberlain's urgency to build bridges connecting differences, becomes an imperative effort to create safe spaces for new coalitions to flourish. Physical or imaginary, these geographies are necessary to sustain a sense of belonging, healing, community and self-development that will ultimately empower Latinx groups. Chamberlain's book contributes, therefore, to a growing literature on Latinx and queer studies by shedding light to new aesthetic and political interventions based on intersectional intimacies.--Irune del Rio Gabiola Author InformationEdward A.
