- Boricua lesbians: sexuality, nationality, and the politics of passing Lourdes Torres Sociología Boricua passing lesbians sexuality nationality Passing is a recurrent theme in Boricua lesbian narratives.This paper explores the different modes of passing andpassing through that are evident in a range of Boricualesbian narratives. Through an analysis of oral histories ofBoricua lesbians in the anthology Compañeras: LatinaLesbians, the performance piece Transplantations: Straightand Other Jackets Para Mí, the film Brincando el charco:Portrait of a Puerto Rican, and the silences around thesexuality of Dr. Antonia Pantoja, I discuss intentional andunintentional passing and passing through. I argue thatthese processes account for complex and wide-ranginganxieties around the performance of multiple and shiftingsexual, national, and racial identities. 2007 artículo científico 1538-6279 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37719112 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=377 Centro Journal application/pdf The City University of New York Centro Journal (Estados Unidos de América) Num.1 Vol.XIX
