While Latina girls have high teen birth rates and are at increasing risk for contracting
sexually transmitted infections, their sexual lives are much more complex than the
negative stereotypes of them as "helpless" or "risky" (or worse) suggest. In this
book the author examines how Latina girls negotiate their emerging sexual identities
and attempt to create positive sexual experiences for themselves. Through a focus
on their sexual agency, the author demonstrates that Latina girls' experiences with
sexism, racism, homophobia and socioeconomic marginality inform how they engage and
begin to rework their meanings and processes of gender and sexuality, emphasizing
how Latina youth themselves understand their sexuality, particularly how they conceptualize
and approach sexual safety and pleasure. At a time of controversy over the appropriate
role of sex education in schools, this book provides a rare look and an important
understanding of the sexual lives of a traditionally marginalized group
