Illustrates the development of a Cuban American gay male culture in Miami.
During a few months in 1980, 125,000 Cubans entered the U.S. as part of a massive migration known as the Mariel boatlift. Drawing from first-person stories of Cuban Americans as well as government documents and cultural texts from both the U.S. and Cuba, Susana Peña reveals how a historical event shaped the formation of an entire ethnic and sexual landscape.
Susana Peña is director of the School of Cultural and Critical Studies and associate professor of ethnic studies at Bowling Green State University.

大背景是马列尔事件，古巴新政权为了营造阳刚健康的国家形象，将大量包括罪犯、娼妓、同志的底层古巴人驱逐至美国。书中探讨这波移民如何形塑迈阿密的种族、情欲景观，ZF在本土同志身份和文化的发展中扮演何种角色。这是罕见的采取跨国比较视角来研究美国LGBT史的作品——尽管大量作品触及到全球因素——并且通过共时的方式将古美并置，有意地抵抗美国中心主义。另外，很容易发现，在家庭意识形态、阳刚气质表演、对传统的浪漫化方面，中古之间的相似可能也多于中美、古美，这也凸显出建立另类（非西方）比较框架的必要。
