Sexuality and the Unnatural in Colonial Latin America brings together a broad community of scholars to explore the history of illicit and alternative sexualities in Latin AmericaÕs colonial and early national periods. Together the essays examine how "the unnaturalÓ came to inscribe certain sexual acts and desires as criminal and sinful, including acts officially deemed to be Òagainst natureÓÑsodomy, bestiality, and masturbationÑalong with others that approximated the unnaturalÑhermaphroditism, incest, sex with the devil, solicitation in the confessional, erotic religious visions, and the desecration of holy images. In doing so, this anthology makes important and necessary contributions to the historiography of gender and sexuality. Amid the growing politicized interest in broader LGBTQ movements in Latin America, the essays also show how these legal codes endured to make their way into post-independence Latin America.Ê
