Gema Pérez-Sánchez argues that the process of political and cultural transition from dictatorship to democracy in Spain can be read allegorically as a shift from a dictatorship that followed a self-loathing “homosexual” model to a democracy that identified as a pluralized “queer” body. Focusing on the urban cultural phenomenon of la movida, she offers a sustained analysis of high queer culture, as represented by novels, along with an examination of low queer culture, as represented by comic books and films. Pérez-Sánchez shows that urban queer culture played a defining role in the cultural and political processes that helped to move Spain from a premodern, fascist military dictatorship to a late-capitalist, parliamentary democracy.
The book highlights the contributions of women writers Ana María Moix and Cristina Peri Rossi, as well as comic book artists Ana Juan, Victoria Martos, Ana Miralles, and Asun Balzola. Its attention to women’s cultural production functions as a counterpoint to its analysis of the works of such male writers as Juan Goytisolo and Eduardo Mendicutti, comic book artists Nazario, Rubén, and Luis Pérez Ortiz, and filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar.

Collectively, the scholars and activists in this special issue offer a promising picture of an invigorating transnational queer activist agenda. Their work encourages a multi-directional analysis of LGBT advocacy that embraces complex, multi-vocal, strategic, contingent, and affective activist practices. Through their work, we learn that local strategies of resignification, subaltern knowledge, humor, and critique are constantly deployed to counter neocolonial, homonational forces and the security archipelago, and we also learn that LGBT activists around the world consciously negotiate queer concepts and identities from the Global North in ad-hoc ways and blend them with local ones to survive oppressive regimes and to challenge “the bordering logics” (Chávez) that have carved out the world into “developed” and “underdeveloped” countries. None of our contributors fetishize false notions of autochthonous authenticity and much less of presentism, as most of them trace many global affective and intellectual exchanges that have almost never originated in the Global North and that, often, had important historical roots. The question of working with others across differences, of forging alliances—however contingent and fragile—permeates the contributions in this special issue on Thinking Queer Activism Transnationally: all of them suggest that, although politically pure actions may be nearly impossible, transnational activist collaboration is a key element of success for an effective, multi-vocal, multi-directional, coalitional LGBTQ activist agenda.

FLESLER, Daniela. The Return of the Moor: Spanish Responses to Contemporary Moroccan Immigration.... more FLESLER, Daniela. The Return of the Moor: Spanish Responses to Contemporary Moroccan Immigration. West Lafayette, IN: Purdue UP, 2008. viii + 246 pp.With The Return of the Moor, Daniela Flesler has written the foundational text of contemporary Spanish immigration studies, particularly regarding how Spaniards negotiate past and present representations of Moroccan immigrants. This is thoroughly researched, convincingly argued, groundbreaking scholarship that dialogues comfortably with current trends in Hispanism and those in colonial, postcolonial, and early modern and contemporary race studies. In this remarkable book, Flesler argues that there is a relation between how contemporary Spaniards imagine and relate to the waves of North African migrations from 711 to the seventeenth century and how they deal with their current relation to economic immigrants from Morocco. Having conflated all Muslim and North African migrants into the conveniently flattened category of the menacing, invading "Moor," Spaniards justify their rejection of contemporary Moroccans and Muslim immigrants by appealing to an imaginary construction of their perceived radical, irreconcilable cultural differences from the "new" Spain fully integrated into the European Union and functioning as the guardian of the infelicitously called "fortressEurope." These supposed differences must be emphasized because, of all the groups of contemporary immigrants looking for work and a better life in the Peninsula, Moroccans "are the one group most directly implicated in the question of Spanish identity in relationship to Africa" (3). Spaniards see Moroccans not as guests that must be welcomed, but as the former medieval hosts that were driven from their land and "who have come to reclaim what was theirs" (3). Looked at from this perspective and taking into consideration the many phenotypical similarities between North Africans and Spaniards, "Moroccans turn into a 'problem' . . . not because of their cultural differences, . . . but because . . . they are not different enough" (3; Flesler's emphasis).The book is divided into five chapters, with an extensive introduction and a short but very helpful conclusion. Chaper 1, "Difference Within and Without: Negotiating European, National, and Regional Identities in Spain," argues that, in joining the European Economic Community in 1986, Spain gained economic, political, and psychological advantages. Spain could stop thinking of itself as one of Europe's "others" to become, instead, an equal partner in the European modernization project. In this sense, immigration from Morocco reaffirms how Spain belongs to Europe at the same time that it highlights the internal contradictions, tensions, and ruptures of Spanish racial formation (11). The most compelling aspect of this chapter is its second part, where Flesler analyzes "the intersection of immigration debates and the politics of national and regional identities, in the context of the 'Europe of Regions'" (11). She teases out the complex anxieties that Catalonia, for example, experiences when negotiating the presence of new immigrants who must choose whether to learn Catalan or Spanish, thus emphasizing Catalonia's own difficulties in shaping its cultural identity vis-a-vis the Spanish State.Chapter 2, "Ghostly Returns: The 'Loss' of Spain, the Invading 'Moor,' and the Contemporary Moroccan Immigrant," traces the transformation of the contemporary Moroccan immigrant "into the threatening figure of the medieval (male) Moorish invader" (12). Effectively dialoguing with current "hauntology" studies about Spain's repressed historical memories (Jo Labanyi, Joan Ramon Resina) influenced by Jacques Derrida's Specters of Marx, Flesler demonstrates how "the figure of the 'Moor' continues to haunt the Spanish imaginary, producing slippages between past and present and textually constructing Moroccans as Moorish ghosts" (12). Flesler's best contribution in this chapter is how, through painstaking literary and historical research, she separates myth from textual fact in mapping the many rewritings of the foundational stories of Don Rodrigo, Count Julian and his daughter La Cava Florinda, and of Don Pelayo as initiator of the "Reconquest" of Spain from the "Moors. …

In analyzing Trullo’s series,Alterhistory: Una historia verdadera(2010) — a gay and lesbian, homonormative rewriting of late nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century photographic couple portraiture — I argue that he simultaneously makes visible and performatively embodies new LGBTQ visibilities and histories in Spain where they were previously erased through a queer manipulation of photographic language, specifically by altering what Roland Barthes has called photography’s “connotation procedures.” Also, I analyze Trullo’sInca: 20 perfiles peruanos sin filtro(2009), a critique of neo-colonial Spanish enterprises in Latin America and Peru’s racism towards its queer indigenous population, which the artist produced while accompanying an exhibition promoting same-sex marriage funded by the AECID (Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo). I conclude that Trullo intervenes in and complicates public debates about LGBTQ rights, visibility, embodiment, and the politics of neo-liberal commodification of progressive rights

Dado que la mayoría de la documentación personal de Héctor Anabitarte, del Frente de Liberación Homosexual argentino, fue destruida por motivos de seguridad durante la última dictadura cívico-militar, esta correspondencia con el líder del movimiento homosexual español, Armand de Fluvià, proporciona un acervo archivístico imprescindible para entender las estrategias de supervivencia, de expansión de redes, de activismo y de construcción de marcos teóricos de mediados de los setenta. A la vez, las trayectorias inversas de ambos movimientos en el último lustro de la década-el Frente de Liberación Homosexual de la Argentina se vio sometido al incremento de la violencia estatal y política, a la vez que el Movimiento Español de Liberación Homosexual salía a la luz y empezaba a recabar el apoyo de la opinión pública tras la muerte del dictador Francisco Franco-permiten complejizar las narrativas acerca de la historia del activismo gay como una trayectoria de progreso lineal, poniendo de relieve por el contrario la importancia de las políticas de solidaridad transnacional, las redes de apoyo afectivo, y el utopismo queer como estrategias de resiliencia y desafío frente al autoritarismo estatal y la homofobia.

A tal fin, el proyecto abordó la producción artística de un conjunto de creadores y de creadoras españoles e hispanoamericanos que fueron capaces (1) de cuestionar las estructuras de control y dominación en la España de los últimos años de la dictadura de Franco, (2) de abrir nuevas vías de libertad frente a la condena impuesta durante décadas y (3) de legitimar nuevos modelos de conducta más igualitarios en los primeros años de la Democracia.
