Reviews
" Venceremos? is an important and engaging book. Jafari S. Allen uses critical ethnography to reveal a changing landscape of race, gender, sex, and nation in Cuba today. The evolving meanings of these categories are propelled by people's everyday actions toward what Allen calls a larger freedom. It is through his examination of 'the everyday,' especially the erotic, that the reader is made to see the creative tension between state-imposed and lived understandings of race, sex, and gender. All those interested in race, queer, gender and/or sexuality studies should read this book."- Cathy J. Cohen , author of Democracy Remixed: Black Youth and the Future of American Politics, " ¡Venceremos? is an important and engaging book. Jafari S.

The book makes an important theoretical contribution to advancing debates on these issues.... ¡Venceremos? Leaves us with the question, "Will we overcome?" but Allen has certainly moved us closer to an answer with this artful ethnography."-Nadine T.

Honoring Audre Lorde's assertation that 'the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house,' Jafari S. Allen offers major new insights into the meaning of black sexual liberation in a rapidly changing revolutionary society."

Jafari S. Allen carefully parses the particularities of black Cuban self-making through a magnificently layered account of Cuba's history and culture and a very queer account of Cuban intimacies--in the home and the street, between men, between women, and between men and women. His careful attention to the socialist context for queer desire in Cuba leads him to insist on an understanding of queer identity that departs from the Euro-American preoccupation with the individual in its focus on communal bonds and modes of belonging. ¡Venceremos?

Synopsis
Promoting the revolutionary socialist project of equality and dignity for all, the slogan Venceremos (We shall overcome ) appears throughout Cuba, everywhere from newspapers to school murals to nightclubs. Yet the accomplishments of the Cuban state are belied by the marginalization of blacks, the prejudice against sexual minorities, and gender inequities. Venceremos? is a groundbreaking ethnography on race, desire, and belonging among blacks in early-twenty-first-century Cuba, as the nation opens its economy to global capital. Expanding on Audre Lorde's vision of embodied, even "useful," desire, Jafari S. Allen shows how black Cubans engage in acts of "erotic self-making," reinterpreting, transgressing, and potentially transforming racialized and sexualized interpellations of their identities. He illuminates intimate spaces of autonomy created by people whose multiply subaltern identities have rendered them illegible to state functionaries, and to most scholars. In everyday practices in Havana and Santiago de Cuba--including Santeria rituals, gay men's parties, hip hop concerts, the tourist-oriented sex trade, lesbian organizing, HIV education, and just hanging out--Allen highlights small but significant acts of struggle for autonomy and dignity., Promoting the revolutionary socialist project of equality and dignity for all, the slogan ¡Venceremos!
