Public Sex in a Latin Society (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Exploring public sex in a Latin setting, this valuable book is the first on the subject and one of the few books with quantitative and qualitative data on those who look for sex in public places. This book explores such questions as how to reduce the number of HIV infected gay men, what are the motivations for seeking public sex, why gay men are murdered, and how these killings could be prevented. Containing several interviews with the police and with murderers, this informative study examines mechanisms for assault and crime and data on the role that sexual and physical abuse play among individuals in order to help create a safer environment for gay men.

Autorenporträt

Jacobo Schifter, PhD, is the Regional Director of ILPES (the Latin American Health and Prevention Institute), an AIDS-prevention program financed by the Netherlands' government. One of the most prolific writers in Latin America, Dr. Schifter wrote books on the Costa Rican civil war, U.S.-Costa Rican relations, and Costa Rican anti-Semitism before shifting his interests when AIDS started to affect the Central American region. He then established the first regional institute to fight the epidemic and created dozens of innovative programs, such as AIDS hotlines and AIDS-prevention workshops for Latin gays, prisoners, street children, Indians, male sex workers, and other minority groups. Dr. Schifter also started to publish controversial books on AIDS, including The Formation of a Counterculture: AIDS and Homosexuality ill Costa Rica (1989), Men Who Love Men (1992), Eyes l1zat Do Not See: Psychial1y and Homophobia (1997), Lila's House (1998), From Toads to Queens (Haworth, 1999), and Macho Love (Haworth, 1999). These books have become best-sellers in the region and have also played a part in changing many Latin governments' discriminatory policies against people with AIDS.
