Latina Lesbians and the Power of Affect
This essay aims to contribute to the construction of affect theory within Latinx and Lesbian Studies through positioning emotional ties, rather than attributes related to identity or ideology, as the focus point of community building in narratives portraying Latina lesbians. Building on Rosamond King’s (2014) assertion that community often functions as an aspect more vital than sexuality itself in the construction of lesbian characters, I propose that affective flows and exchanges enable strong connections between traditionally opposed arenas, links key to the integration and support of Latina lesbians within heteronormative hegemonic discourses. Depending on the text at hand, these loci may antagonize or support coalitions across national, political, religious, or racial boundaries. It follows that the article also helps configure a specifically Latina lesbian notion of affect, this in line with García-Rojas’s (2017) challenge to the assumption of White, heterosexual affects as universal.

This book was made in the mid-80s. On the one hand, it feels a little dated, but on the other, the reader can tell how much it has thoroughly influenced many of the anthologies of lesbian and gay writing of color to come after it. This book is a smorgasbord of poems, essays, diary entries, and other writings from Latina lesbians. It has some cheesy, Cocteau-influenced pencil drawings too, which I won't bother to discuss. In the style of Anzaldua and Moraga, this is another book which celebrates bilingualism and has essays in English and Spanish, without translations, by the way. However, unlike the two previously mentioned Latina lesbian authors, there is little "Spanglish" here. Unlike Latino collections, that focus upon Mexican-Americans, this book has a healthy selection of writings from Puerto Ricans, especially Black Puerto Ricans. I'm sure this is due to the New York residence of the editor, but I was loving it regardless of its reasons. Also, this is one of the few Latino anthologies which includes writings from Brazilian-Americans. Unlike so much lesbian writing where the narrator is always the blameless heroine, the authors here lead real lives: they make mistakes and write about stuff that could make many readers uncomfortable. Unfortunately, there are many essays that say little about race and also many that say little about sexuality. In this book, women are much more likely to say they are lesbians who have had sex with men than to identify as bisexual and this may rub some bisexual readers the wrong way. Whereas the writers had much to say about sexism of men and homophobia in communities of color, they said little about racism in the gay community and I tend to think this was done purposely because the authors may want to encourage a large white lesbian readership. Many of the authors only use their first names; this type of anonymity would be seen as closet-y and shocking nowadays. Still, even today, there is not enough Latina lesbian writing out there. So this is a precious, early effort at filling the void. I did enjoy reading this book, even as it sometimes felt rough around the edges.
I loved this collection and was very happy it was recommended reading in the book "Lovers; love and sex stories" by Tee Corinne. The author Cenen was highly recommended and the story "The Love Making" was wonderfully sensual. This is a Keeper! Publisher's Note - Companeras is a collection of oral histories, essays, poems, short stories and art work by and about Latina lesbians. In these pieces, some in Spanish, most in English, 47 women born in 10 different countries address issues such as coming out, relationships with families and friends, political organizing and community building. This groundbreaking collection, originally published in 1987 by the Latina Lesbian History Project, allows women to speak about what it means to be Latina and lesbian in their communities. Throughout, the voices in this book explore the process of self-commitment to a political struggle to end all forms of Oppression. A reprint of the anthology originally compiled in 1987 by Ramos, the co-founder of the Latina Lesbian History Project. Oral histories, essays, poems, short stories, and artwork of 47 Latina lesbians from 10 different countries. The writers address their experiences of alienation as lesbian women of color, the grief over losing their native language, and the terror of coming out, among other topics. Some selections are not translated from the original Spanish

Laura Aguilar Was a Proud Latina Lesbian, and She Flaunted It
Yxta Maya Murray is Professor of Law at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, and the author of the novel Art Is Everything (2021).
What do the late artist’s emotional photo-text letters reveal about the craft of self-expression?
Laura Aguilar, (Detail) Personal letter to Joyce Tenneson , February 22, 1993
In September 1982, then-twenty-three-year-old photographer Laura Aguilar wrote a letter to her teacher and mentor Suda House. “Im not sure do you feel or do you learn how to feel?” she wondered,
And went you learn how to feel is that really how you feel or is it what you learn? Went your not sure about your feelings or how you feel about people and things. How do you know what you feel and what you think you feel is how you feel? How do you learn to understand things you don’t understand?
This letter, along with a large cache of others, is stored today in Stanford University’s Special Collections, which houses many of Aguilar’s papers and ephemera. In these and other documents, Aguilar expresses her anguish over her perceived inability to understand herself and other people, and over whether others could understand her. They form a key part of Aguilar’s oeuvre , as they document emotions and practices that would help shape a critical phase in her artistic development. From roughly 1988 to 1993, Aguilar became one of the most radical innovators of “photo-text,” a style that she embraced in order to confront her anxieties about being overlooked and misconstrued. Aguilar experienced auditory dyslexia , which caused her to write in a unique style; she also wrestled with fears of misunderstanding and being misunderstood as a consequence of her Mexicanness, her lesbianism, her large physical size, and her poverty. Together, the letters constitute a feminist photobook, detailing Aguilar’s interior life and marking her as a photo-text pioneer.
Laura Aguilar was born in 1959 to Mexican American and Irish Mexican American parents; she was raised with her older brother Johnny in the Los Angeles County neighborhood of South San Gabriel. As art historian Sybil Venegas has documented in an oral history , Aguilar formed one of her closest relationships with her grandmother, Mary Salgado Grisham, who often brought her to a local river where they would collect rocks and study the natural landscape.
