Streetwalking

"Ana-Maurine Lara offers us a meaningful invitation to consider the multifaceted potentials of streetwalking, and to witness how Dominican LGBTQ activists make resistencia that reorders our understanding of the queer politics of the everyday. Beautifully written and cogently argued, Streetwalking is an important contribution to queer of color critique."

- C. Riley Snorton (author of Black on Both Sides: A Racial History of Trans Identity)

"Streetwalking is the first book to document and analyze LGBTQ activism, theorizing, and life-making in the Dominican Republic. As such, it is inherently groundbreaking and innovative. But more than being the first, it is also a finely argued, nuanced understanding of the context-national, regional, and historical-in which this community asserts its contestatory vision of rights, citizenship, morality, humanity and collectivism."

- Ginetta Candelario (author of Black behind the Ears: Dominican Racial Identity from Museums to Beauty Shops)
