Theorizing Homophobias in the Caribbean

The Caribbean Region of the International Resource Network has just launched Theorizing Homophobias in the Caribbean: Complexities of Place, Desire and Belonging, a digital multimedia collection of activist reports, creative writing, critical essays, film, interviews, music, and visual and performance art reflecting the complexities of homophobias in the Caribbean, while also expanding understanding of Caribbean sexual minority experiences and activism in the region and its diaspora.

It can be found at www.caribbeanhomophobias.org
There is a complex range of viewpoints and attitudes that must be accounted for in our defining of homophobias, and this collection aims to give a platform to some of those perspectives. It was created by the Caribbean Region of the International Resource Network (irnweb.org).
