Jason Cianciotto and Sean Cahill, experts on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender public policy advocacy, combine an accessible review of social science research with analyses of school practices and local, state, and federal laws that affect LGBT students. In addition, portraits of LGBT youth and their experiences with discrimination at school bring human faces to the issues the authors discuss. This is an essential guide for teachers, school administrators, guidance counselors, and social workers interacting with students on a daily basis; school board members and officials determining school policy; nonprofit advocates and providers of social services to youth; and academic scholars, graduate students, and researchers training the next generation of school administrators and informing future policy and practice.

Este libro analiza las discontinuidades de los postulados ideológicos del sistema revolucionario cubano, en un corpus representativo de la narrativa cubana contemporánea, desde 1990 hasta la actualidad. Este ensayo se ocupa del estudio de subjetividades sexuales alternativas como instrumentos desestabilizadores de la hegemonía nacional. Asimismo, estos textos desarticulan y, a menudo, difuminan los referentes nacionales, con el propósito de legitimar estas identidades marginales, previamente consideradas como incompatibles con la moral revolucionaria. En consecuencia, este volumen resalta las contradicciones de aparatos políticos y culturales que han percibido históricamente las sexualidades alternativas como "injuriosas", aunque estas fueran utilizadas como el opuesto necesario que afirmaba y legitimaba el poder. El periodo estudiado ha coincidido con el surgimiento de una apertura gradual en material sexual que sugeriría cierto afán de adaptación oficial y controlada, con miras a nuevas realidades nacionales y globales. En este sentido, estas prácticas culturales contemporáneas se apuntalan, más que nunca, como herramientas de construcción de una Cuba posible. Patricia Valladares-Ruiz es Assistant Professor of Romance Literatures and Literatures en la University of Cincinnati.

"This book sheds light on 'contact moments' between Japanese male-queer culture and that of the West in the postwar period, and critiques various contemporary examples of persistent Orientalism and nativism. Focusing on a range of Japanese as well as English male-queer materials including magazines, memoirs and cybertexts, Suganuma shows how the interactions of the two cultures affected the subject formation process of queer selves. The instances examined range from the hentai magazines of the 1950s and their depiction of men who had sex with foreign men (mostly American servicemen); the depiction of race in the magazine Barazoku; John Whittier Treat's memoir of his sabbatical in Japan and his depiction of his own Orientalism; the writings and strategies of OCCUR and Fushimi in the 1990s; and the GJN news site. The author sees the depiction of and reaction to Japanese men who had sex with foreigners in the hentai magazines as part of a larger pattern of representation manifesting gender anxieties among Japanese men (both heterosexual and homosexual) who found themselves feminized by defeat in the war. He draws on Dyer's understanding of whiteness as a flexible default position in his discussion of Barazoku, but argues that in this case Japaneseness is the default position and whiteness is othered. In his final chapter, he argues for an understanding of the activities of GJN also as a space of mediation rather than simply as a wholesale importation of American or 'global gay' culture. Suganuma argues that the binaries of cross-cultural comparison (local/global, Japan/West, acts/identities, and us/them) can be generative and productive as well as repressive and reductive."--Publisher's description.
