Maps a long queer presence at a crossroads of the Caribbean. This transdisciplinary
book foregrounds the queer histories of Carnival, calypso, and HIV/AIDS in the Republic
of Trinidad and Tobago. At its heart is an extension of Audre Lorde's use of the erotic
as theory and methodology. The author turns to lesbian/gay artistry and activism to
insist on eros as an intertwined political-sensual-spiritual lens through which to
see self and society more clearly. This analysis juxtaposes revered musician Calypso
Rose, renowned mas man Peter Minshall, and resilient HIV/AIDS organization Friends
for Life. This book traverses black studies, queer studies, and anthropology toward
an emergent black queer diaspora studies
