Abstract
which Luna characterizes as a queer departure, “because [missionaries] imagined futures of living with and loving sex workers instead of future husbands” (151). Nonetheless, Luna does not portray the relationship between missionaries and sex workers as a queer utopia. In fact, both parties were concerned they were being used by the other. Although they described their mission as being rooted in unconditional love, missionaries hoped that their actions ultimately would lead to sex workers loving God and leaving prostitution. It is these tensions that Luna so beautifully illustrates and analyzes, leaving readers with new visions for love, friendship, and kinship at the border.
期刊介绍:
Providing a much-needed forum for interdisciplinary discussion, GLQ publishes scholarship, criticism, and commentary in areas as diverse as law, science studies, religion, political science, and literary studies. Its aim is to offer queer perspectives on all issues touching on sex and sexuality. In an effort to achieve the widest possible historical, geographic, and cultural scope, GLQ particularly seeks out new research into historical periods before the twentieth century, into non-Anglophone cultures, and into the experience of those who have been marginalized by race, ethnicity, age, social class, body morphology, or sexual practice.
