Explore conversations with queer Latino/x/é library and information professionals across the USA.Now more than ever, libraries are under attack. Many of the challenges to library collections and programs revolve around the LGBTQIA+ experience or narratives. Among those stories are individuals who navigate through the challenges surrounding being a queer person of color or whose lived experiences are identified by intersectionality. This book features conversations between the author and other Latino/x/é library and information professionals of varying identities and intersections. It dives into questions surrounding challenges professionals have faced in entering the field, navigating the workplace, promoting into positions of leadership, defeating imposter syndrome, inherent and internalized homophobia, eliminating hate, and finding balance with their cultural lived experiences and professional settings. Queer Latino/x/é voices still lack representation in the professional and academic space. This text is vital to the continued conversation of equity, diversity, and inclusion in libraries and it is needed now more than ever to amplify the conversations that are not always given the proper attention or consideration in professional spaces.
