Erotic Islands: Art and Activism in the Queer Caribbean Gill Lyndon K.Paperback
In Erotic Islands, Lyndon K. This transdisciplinary book foregrounds the queer histories of Carnival, calypso, and HIV/AIDS in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Gill maps a long queer presence at a crossroads of the Caribbean.
Gill turns to lesbian/gay artistry and activism to insist on eros as an intertwined political-sensual-spiritual lens through which to see self and society more clearly. At its heart is an extension of Audre Lorde's use of the erotic as theory and methodology. This analysis juxtaposes revered musician Calypso Rose, renowned mas man Peter Minshall, and resilient HIV/AIDS organization Friends For Life.
Erotic Islands traverses black studies, queer studies, and anthropology toward an emergent black queer diaspora
