When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

Pedro Lemebel, a Radical Voice for Calamitous Times Lemebel’s writing was entirely focussed on those living on the farthest margins of society—people escaping the norms and seen as different.

A newly translated collection of Pedro Lemebel’s crónicas—a Latin American hybrid combining observation, memoir, reportage, and fiction—focusses on gender-nonconforming locas living under Chile’s dictatorship and the AIDS epidemic.
