Ruvalcaba's significant contribution to queer studies is a survey of the field's more contemporary scholarship produced in Latin America and abroad … very useful for scholars looking to expand the exchanges between translation and queer theories.

Translation Studies

A profound work that will illuminate both how, through the figure of the queer, Latin Americanists should consider central concepts such as the nation, citizenship, and identity; and how queer theorists outside Latin America might envision a more thorough understanding of histories of the queer.

Ruvalcaba offers a concrete vision of queer resistance, one that it is not just a movement for gender liberation but also a transnational quest to decolonize the present. A must read for anyone grappling with queer politics in the Americas.
