Somewhere Over the Arcoíris: Conversations on Queer Latinidad in Libraries

By David López

Explore conversations with queer Latin library and information professionals across the USA.

Now more than ever, libraries are under attack, with many challenges targeting LGBTQIA+ collections, programs, and stories. Somewhere Over the Arco ris features conversations between the author and Latin library and information professionals whose identities and intersections shape their experiences.

The book explores challenges entering the profession, navigating workplaces, advancing into leadership, overcoming imposter syndrome, confronting homophobia, combating hate, and balancing cultural identities with professional expectations.

Queer Latin voices remain underrepresented in professional and academic spaces. This book is vital to ongoing conversations about equity, diversity, and inclusion, amplifying perspectives that are too often overlooked or marginalized within libraries.
