"Concise, poignant, and sophisticated, Maguire's book will be a valuable contribution to cinema and media studies in general and Latin American queer studies in particular." — H-Net Reviews (H-Environment)"A major contribution, Bodies of Water conjugates Latin American queer cinema studies and the blue humanities in ways that are illuminating and transformational.
