Ramon Rivera-Servera wins Latino Studies Section of LASA Award for Best Book
The University of Michigan Press is proud to congratulate Ramon Rivera-Servera on receiving the Latino Studies Section of the Latin American Studies Association Award for
Best Book for his book Performing Queer Latinidad: Dance, Sexuality, Politics. The prize represents one of the most significant awards, as it considers books across all disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
Rivera-Servera's book, which has also been nominated for a Lambda Literary award, examines the ways in which performance shaped the queer public culture of the 1990s and early 2000s, unifying individuals of diverse backgrounds in an era marked both by increased influence and heightened scrutiny of Latino/a populations.
Performing Queer Latinidad is available now in paperback, ebook, and hardcover.
Congratulations again to Ramon Rivera-Servera on this major award!
