The Development of a Latino Gay Identity (Latino Communities: Emerging Voices--Political, Social, Cultural and Legal Issues)

Rating:
Summary: average psychological study on a great topic
Review: In this psychological dissertation, a gay Latino researcher interviews ten Latinos about their process toward their acceptance of being gay. Garcia will be a great therapist for gay Latino men with concerns about their sexuality or race. Nevertheless, this text says nothing that Diaz, Anzaldua, and Almaguer haven't said before or better. The book divides into a review of the literature and then long quotes from the research subjects with not much else. Garcia posits that psychologists have not studied race and sexual orientation simultaneously enough; in that way this book is a good intervention. Otherwise, it is a little thin.
