CLACSO Working Group The Central American Isthmus: rethinking the centers
As researchers and people who identify as queer, LGBTI+, dissidents, or sexually diverse, we want to make it clear that it is of utmost importance that people like us—the editors, the authors who participated in submitting texts, the academic reviewers, and the readers to whom this book reaches—can document and publish their own stories based on experiences and testimonies, so that LGBTI+ Studies can expand further in the region and, in doing so, challenge the stereotypes and prejudices built against us.
What future awaits LGBTI+ studies in Central America? The future is bright and ever-evolving. If we consider the path we've traveled since the 80s, when we first began to glimpse avenues, ideas, and research related to these topics, we now have far greater possibilities. Furthermore, there is an intergenerational dialogue that fosters research growth. In addition, a generation of young and not-so-young researchers has continued the legacy inherited from others. And as a well-known song refrain says: “Traveler, there is no path, the path is made by walking.” We continue walking, we continue building.
