5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book about sexuality in Brazil,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bodies, Pleasures, and Passions: Sexual Culture in Contemporary Brazil (Hardcover)
Brazil is known as this sensual, sexual, exotic place and yet there has been little scholarly attention to that topic. Parker's book is an important intervention in that regard. It is a survey of Brazilians' views on sexuality. Parker interviews Brazilian men and women of all sexual orientations. It shows how Brazil's sexual mores may differ from those of the United States. (For example, a Brazilian man would fear being called a cuckold more than he would fear being called gay.) I used this book to write a paper and found it a really reliable source. This book is a must-have for all those interested in Latin American or Portuguese diaspora issues.
