The book looks at the way in which certain circumstances simultaneously hide, regulate, and allow the expression of what are considered sexual “deviancies.” It observes the methods through which alternative female sexualities have been previously silenced or represented only at the symbolic level and explores the reasons why lesbian characters have only recently found public and open representation within the literature and cinema of the islands. Therefore, the book aims to present a history of female characters who love women, thus instituting lesbian literary and filmic canons in the Hispanic Caribbean.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eConsuelo Martínez Reyes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e is a writer, translator, and Senior Lecturer in Spanish and Latin American Studies at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.
