Bøger af Julio

This is an autobiography of my father, Julio Gomez, who grew up in the rough streets of East Los Angeles, in a much different world than what we have come to know today. He had emptied his soul in his last will and testament before taking his own life on his fifty-eighth birthday and emailed me this book before he went. My brother and I are his legacy, and this is his legend.

Poised on the edge of the United States and at the center of a wider Caribbean world, today's Miami is marketed as an international tourist hub that embraces gender and sexual difference. As Julio Capo Jr. shows in this fascinating history, Miami's transnational connections reveal that the city has been a queer borderland for over a century.
