Drawing on ethnographic encounters, film and video, and interviews, LGBTQ community leaders teach readers about streetwalking, confrontaci\u00f3n, flipping the script, cuentos, and the use of strategic universalisms in the exercise of power and agency. Rooted in Maria Lugones\u2019s theorization of streetwalker strategies and Audre Lorde\u2019s theorization of silence and action, this text re-imagines the exercise and locus of power in examples provided by the living, thriving LGBTQ community of the Dominican Republic.\u201d <em>\u2014from the publisher<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ana-Maurine Lara is an assistant professor of women\u2019s, gender and sexuality studies, and a CSWS faculty affiliate.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Streetwalking: LGBTQ Lives and Protest in the Dominican Republic, by Ana-Maurine Lara (Rutgers University Press, 2020, 258 pages).
