First line
In studying the construct of homosexual abjection in Cuban nationalist discourse, it is helpful to bear in mind what Doris Sommer argues in her Foundational Fictions: The National Romances of Latin America.
From the rear cover
With Gay Cuban Nation, Emilio Bejel looks at Cuba's markedly homoerotic culture through writings about homosexuality, placing them in the social and political contexts that led up to the Cuban Revolution. By reading against the grain of a wide variety of novels, short stories, autobiographies, newspaper articles, and films, he maps out a fascinating argument about the way in which nationalism and other institutions of power struggle for an authoritative stance on homosexual issues. Through close readings of writers such as Jos Mart, Ofelia Rodrguez Acosta, Carlos Montenegro, Jos Lezama Lima, Severo Sarduy, Achy Obejas, Sonia Rivera-Valds, and Reinaldo Arenas, Gay Cuban Nation shows ultimately that the specter of homosexuality is always lurking in the shadows of nationalist discourse.
