How can Latin America make sense of gender and racial histories when these histories are often portrayed as having little connection with each other? This talk examines the history of transgender workers in Latin American countries by making connections between projects of racial mixing and projects of LGBTQ+ diversity, and between the neglect of an indigenous present and the neglect of a nonheterosexual past. Co-sponsored by Hofstra’s Center for Civic Engagement; Center for “Race,” Culture and Social Justice; Department of Anthropology; LGBTQ+ Studies Program; and Women’s Studies Program
