The Boyz of Brazil
In his study of the "Culture of desire, male homosexuality, and emerging QV communities in Brazil," researcher and author Richard Parker sets out "to illuminate...the complex changes that seem to be taking place in the social organization of homosexuality" in Brazil. According to Parker's research, over the last fifteen years, a robust QV community has begun to emerge in Brazil as well as other areas of Latin America. The book examines the changing shape of male homosexuality and the emergence of diverse and vibrant QV communities in urban Brazil. Parker's research focuses not only on the cultural configuration of changing sexual identities and lifestyles, but also on the broader social, economic, and political forces that have shaped the changes. By doing this, he opens the dialogue on the new cross-cultural depiction of QV life sweeping across Brazil. Parker's book is a truly enlightening and engaging study that provides readers with a rare and unique opportunity to learn more about the culture of our Latino hermanos in Brazil.

and groundbreaking book titled, "Beneath the Equator."
