Somewhere Over the Arcoíris: Conversations on Queer Latinidad in Libraries

Autor David Lopez
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iul 2027
Explore conversations with queer Latiné library and information professionals across the USA.

Now more than ever, libraries are under attack, with many challenges targeting LGBTQIA+ collections, programs, and stories. Somewhere Over the Arcoíris features conversations between the author and Latiné library and information professionals whose identities and intersections shape their experiences.

The book explores challenges entering the profession, navigating workplaces, advancing into leadership, overcoming imposter syndrome, confronting homophobia, combating hate, and balancing cultural identities with professional expectations.

Queer Latiné voices remain underrepresented in professional and academic spaces. This book is vital to ongoing conversations about equity, diversity, and inclusion, amplifying perspectives that are too often overlooked or marginalized within libraries.

Recenzii

Candid, affirming, and urgently necessary, Somewhere Over the Arcoíris gathers the wisdom and lived experience of queer Latine library professionals into a powerful collective testament to belonging, resistance, and the transformative work of building institutions where every community can thrive. An essential and deeply human contribution to library studies, this collection serves as a bold and timely blueprint for the future.
As someone who owes their life to libraries and has many friends in this most loving of professions, reading the hopes, fears, anger and joy of LGBTQ+ librarians was not just an inspiration, but an honor. Make this book a series!
David Lopez's Somewhere Over the Arcoírisis an essential addition to the literature. It captures the diversity and power of queer Latinidad in America's libraries at a critical moment in our nation's history. New and established professionals will identify with how their lived experiences are reflected in these meaningful stories from the field.
Somewhere Over the Arcoíris: Conversations on Queer Latinidad in Libraries is a breathtaking exploration of the transformational efforts and crucial worlds created by queer Latiné library professionals. Refusing to uncouple vocational undertaking from personal aspiration, the voices collected here speak eloquently about why archival practices, collections, and an overall advocacy for safe spaces matter. With this book, the library is indeed open. And reading it is fundamental.
