“Do you understand?: queer readings, hispanic writings” edited by Emilie L. Bergmann and Paul Julian Smith
""You understand?" is literally translated as “Do you understand? Do you get it? But those who do “get it” will also hear within this question a subtler meaning: “Are you queer? Are you one of us?” The issues of gay and lesbian identity represented by this question are explored for the first time in the context of Spanish and Hispanic literature in this groundbreaking anthology.
Combining intimate knowledge of Spanish-speaking cultures with contemporary queer theory, these essays address texts that share both a common language and a concern with lesbian, gay, and bisexual identities.”
