Description: "In El Ambiente Nuestro, David William Foster examines homoerotic issues in the work of selected Latino writers and performance artists. He explores the important body of writing on these issues that began with John Rechy's founding texts of Chicano narrative and continues with more recent works such as Jaime Manrique's Eminent Maricones. Rather than being a historical survey of Latino homoerotic writing, this book focuses on key texts in queer Latino literary tradition and foregrounds Chicano writers in particular"--Book jacket.
