Tortilleras Negotiating Intimacy: Love, Friendship, and Sex in Queer Mexico City provides a groundbreaking look into women's sexual and intimate cultures in Mexico. As the first English-language ethnography to focus on this specific subject, it offers deep insights into how intimacy is shaped within queer spaces in contemporary Mexico City. Through the experiences of three generations of women, this book tracks the evolution of sexual citizenship. It examines how legal shifts, such as anti-discrimination laws and same-sex marriage, impact personal lives and social structures. Readers will see how individuals navigate and reconfigure their connections through various forms of partnership, including marriage, polyamory, friendship, and sex. This work is an essential resource for those studying sociology, anthropology, and LGBTQ+ studies. It provides a detailed perspective on how modern social changes influence the way people build and maintain meaningful relationships in a rapidly changing urban environment.
