Juan Carlos Mezo González, Gay Print Culture: A Transnational History of North America (Duke University Press, 2026) We are very pleased to announce the recent publication of Juan Carlos Mezo González's new book, Gay Print Culture: A Transnational History of North America (Duke University Press, 2026), which we at Southwest Humanities are proud to have indexed. In Gay Print Culture, Mezo González explores how gay liberation movements across Mexico, the United States, and Canada used print media (in particular, periodicals) to build community, spread political ideas, and visualize queer desires long before the internet made digital networking possible.
