      abstract = {This book defies long standing assumptions about  indigenous societies in the Americas and shows that  non-heteronormative sexualities were already present among  native peoples in different regions of what is now Latin  America before the arrival of European colonizers.  Presenting data collected from both literature and field  research, the authors give examples of native queer  traditions in different cultural regions, such as  Mesoamerica, the Amazon and the Andes, and analyze how  colonization gradually imposed the models of sexuality and  family organization considered as normal by the European  settlers using methods such as forced labor, physical  punishments and forced marriages. Building upon  post-colonial and queer theories, Queer Natives in Latin  America: Forbidden Chapters of Colonial History reveals a  little known aspect of the colonization of the Americas:  how a bureaucratic-administrative, political and  psychological apparatus was created and developed to  normalize indigenous sexuality, shaping them to the  colonial order.},
