SUJETOS TÁCITOS: Pertenencia y deseo homosexual entre hombres dominicanos en el exilio

Study based on autoethnography, participant observation, and twenty-five retrospective biographical interviews with immigrant Dominican men in New York City. The study proposes that when they moved to New

York, they were integrated into an increasingly transnational society, and that they continued to manage their proximity to their compatriots in the city, with the advantages and challenges of leading a life as men who love and have sex with other men. The participants offer a broad look into the worlds they had to manage and dominate, and the book develops concepts inspired by feminist, queer, ethnic and cultural studies that help to understand how involved these men were in expanding, reshaping and reproducing the structures of possibility and restriction in their lives.
