520    "In the last three decades of the twentieth century, LGBT 
       Latinas/os faced several forms of discrimination. The 
       greater Latino community did not often accept sexual 
       minorities, and the mainstream LGBT movement expected 
       everyone, regardless of their ethnic and racial background,
       to adhere to a specific set of priorities so as to 
       accommodate a "unified" agenda. To disrupt the cycle of 
       sexism, racism, and homophobia that they experienced, LGBT
       Latinas/os organized themselves on local, state, and 
       national levels, forming communities in which they could 
       fight for equal rights while simultaneously staying true 
       to both their ethnic and sexual identities. Yet histories 
       of LGBT activism in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s often 
       reduce the role that Latinas/os played, resulting in 
       misinformation, or ignore their work entirely, erasing 
       them from history. Queer Brown Voices is the first book 
       published to counter this trend, documenting the efforts 
       of some of these LGBT Latina/o activists. Comprising 
       essays and oral history interviews that present the 
       experiences of fourteen activists across the United States
       and in Puerto Rico, the book offers a new perspective on 
       the history of LGBT mobilization and activism. The 
       activists discuss subjects that shed light not only on the
       organizations they helped to create and operate, but also 
       on their broad-ranging experiences of being racialized and
       discriminated against, fighting for access to health care 
       during the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and struggling for 
       awareness."--Page 4 of cover.
