摘要
This article critiques the exclusion of working-class and impoverished gays and lesbians of color by drawing on popular and academic theories of the development of gay and queer urban spaces. Through an analysis of black gay men's literature of the 1980s and 1990s, it explores the factors that tie black gay men to and ostracize them from their home neighborhoods. It is argued that black gay writers use textual strategies to question their invisibility in their communities of origin and in white gay neighborhoods, show their positions and roles in the home and neighborhood, and queer these spaces. Aqui es donde vivimos: haciendo queer los espacios urbanos en la literatura de los hombres negros gaysEste articulo critica la exclusion de las personas de color empobrecidas y de clase trabajadora gays y lesbianas basandose en teorias academicas del desarrollo de espacios gays y queer urbanos. A traves de un analisis de la literatura de hombres negros gays de los anos 80 y 90, exploro los factores que los atan y aislan de sus barrios de origen. Se plantea que los escritores hombres negros gays utilizan estrategias textuales para cuestionar su invisibilidad en sus comunidades de origen y en los barrios gays blancos, mostrar sus posiciones y roles en el hogar y el barrio, y hacen queer a estos espacios. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????,?????????????????????????????1980?1990???????????,???????????????????????????????,?????????????,???????????????????????,???????????????,?????????
