After his stepfather kills his mother, 17-year-old Eddy Gavolin falls under the tutelage of Deputy Dave Brinkle and Lambert Snodgrass. To cleanse his body, mind, and soul, Eddy seeks a spiritual communication from his deceased Bible totin' Grandpappy Gavolin and finally finds deliverance.
What did it mean to be a man in colonial Latin America? More specifically, what did indigenous and Iberian groups think of men who had sexual relations with other men? Providing comprehensive analyses of how male homosexualities were represented in areas under Portuguese and Spanish control, Infamous Desire is the first book-length attempt to answer such questions. In a study that will be indispensable for anyone studying sexuality and gender in colonial Latin America, an esteemed group of contributors view sodomy through the lens of desire and power, relating male homosexual behavior to broader gender systems that defined masculinity and femininity.
