Exploring Latino GBT involvement in the fight against AIDS

Telling the affecting stories of eighty gay, bisexual, and transgender (GBT)
Latino activists and volunteers living in Chicago and San Francisco,
Compañeros: Latino Activists in the Face of AIDS closely details how these
individuals have been touched or transformed by the AIDS epidemic.

Weaving together activists' responses to oppression and stigma, their
encounters with AIDS, and their experiences as GBTs and Latinos in North
America and Latin America, Jesus Ramirez-Valles explores the intersection of
civic involvement with ethnic and sexual identity. Even as activists battle
multiple sources of oppression, they are able to restore their sense of
family connection and self-esteem through the creation of an alternative
space in which community members find value in their relationships with one
another. In demonstrating the transformative effects of a nurturing
community environment for GBT Latinos affected by the AIDS epidemic,
Ramirez-Valles illustrates that members find support in one another, as
compañeros, in their struggles with homophobia, gender discrimination,
racism, poverty, and forced migration.

"Unlike other works, Compañeros succeeds in allowing the activists to speak
for themselves and shares with readers an intimate connection to their
lives, thoughts, and emotions. The life stories of gay men and transgender
women are movingly presented with both passion and clarity, giving a feeling
of great respect and admiration for a group who heroically turns oppression
into a source of resilience and strength, as well as a solidarity seldom
seen in contemporary social movements."--Rafael M. Díaz, author of Latino
Gay Men and HIV: Culture, Sexuality, and Risk Behavior
