In this account of homosexual life, Ian Lumsden explores the treatment of male homosexuality under Castro within the framework of pre-revolution prejudices and preconceptions. This first-hand report links the cultural history and current erosion of traditional machismo, the correlation between traditional women's roles and the relationships between gay men, and homosexuality as defined by the law and as presented in typical sex education. From the international controversy over state-imposed sanatoriums for HIV\/AIDS patients, to the underground gay social scene, to the issues affecting gay life and family ties, Lumsden sheds light on a little-known and misunderstood aspect of modern Cuban society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn Introduction to Contemporary Cuba\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachisrho and Homosexuality before the Revolution\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstitutionalized Homophobia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHomosexuality and the Law\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHomosexuality and Sexual Education in the 198os\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Erosion of Traditional Machismo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGay Life in Havana Today\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Impact of AIDS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn Imperfect Revolution in an Imperfect World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAPPENDIX A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCuban Sexual Values and African Religious Beliefs, by Tomas Fernandez Robaina\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAPPENDIX B\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl Pecado Original, by Pablo Milanes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAPPENDIX C\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManifesto of the Gay and Lesbian Association of Cuba\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelect Bibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Latin America Bureau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781899365128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.62d","brand":"Ian Lumsden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52679514292405,"sku":"9781899365128","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/machos-maricones-and-gays-9781899365128","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
