Summary:

"Queer Emergent is an ethnography of sexual and medical cultures in urban Amazonian Peru at the time of a global health shift in responding to HIV/AIDS. Justin Perez, who lived alongside Peruvian gay and transgender communities between 2012 and 2018, traces the emergence of social worlds through relating the scandalous everyday stories of gay and transgender people. Taking the genre of scandal as a theory of queer world-making, Perez looks to how the community made meaning of and responded to the changing dynamics in HIV prevention, showing how the "End of AIDS" was not just a technical project oriented towards ending AIDS but a project of sexual subjectification and social transformation. Through an intersubjective and intersectional approach to ethnography, Perez illuminates the various ways that the Peruvian queer and transgender commun650ity made emergent categories of sexual selfhood habitable on their own terms"-- Provided by publisher.
