Arguing for its political potential, Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes explores the social and cultural disruptions caused by Latin American and Latinx "locas" (effeminate men, drag queens, transgender performers, and unruly women) and the various forms of violence that queer individuals in Puerto Rico and the U.S. are subjected to. This interdisciplinary, auto-ethnographic, queer-of-color performance studies book explores the lives and work of contemporary performers and activists including Sylvia Rivera, Nina Flowers, Freddie Mercado, Javier Cardona, Jorge Merced, Erika Lopez, Holly Woodlawn, Monica Beverly Hillz, Lady Catiria, and Barbra Herr; television programs such as RuPaul's Drag Race; films such as Paris Is Burning, The Salt Mines, and Mala Mala; and literary works by authors such as Mayra Santos-Febres and Manuel Ramos Otero. Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes, a drag performer himself, demonstrates how each destabilizes (and sometimes reifies) dominant notions of gender and sexuality through drag and their embodied transgender expression. These performances provide a means to explore and critique issues of race, class, poverty, national identity, and migratory displacement; and at times posit a relationship between audiences and performers that has a ritual-like, communal dimension. La Fountain-Stokes also analyzes the murders of Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado and Kevin Fret in Puerto Rico, and invites readers to challenge, question, and expand their knowledge about queer life, drag, trans performance, and Puerto Rican identity in the Caribbean and the diaspora. He also pays careful attention to transgender experience, highlighting how trans activists and performers mold their bodies, promote social change, and create community in a context that oscillates between glamour and abjection"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Drag performance $x Social aspects $z Puerto Rico. 650 0 $a Drag performance $x Political aspects $z Puerto Rico. 650 0 $a Drag queens $z Puerto Rico. 650 0 $a Transgender people $z Puerto Rico. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $z Puerto Rico $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Gender expression $z Puerto Rico. 650 6 $a Transgenres $z Porto Rico. 650 6 $a Americains d'origine latino-americaine $z Porto Rico $x Conditions sociales. 650 6 $a Expression de l'identite sexuelle $z Porto Rico. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Cross-dressers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155473 650 7 $a Gender expression. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01782862 650 7 $a Hispanic Americans $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957600 650 7 $a Transgender people. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765239 651 7 $a Puerto Rico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205432 776 08 $a La Fountain-Stokes, Lawrence M.
