Lázaro Lima specializes in Latina/o literary and visual studies, postcolonial studies, gender studies and critical race theory, and African American and Latina/o relations. He is the author of The Latino Body: Crisis Identities in American Literary and Cultural Memory (NYU Press, 2007), and a forthcoming anthology of LGBTQ Latina/o narrative he is co-editing with Violet Quill co-founder Felice Picano. His current book project, Boricua Insurgencies: Puerto Rico, Colonial Nationalism, and Counterhegemony, studies the clandestine contraceptive pill trials conducted in Puerto Rico during the 1950s and its relation to the discourse of U.S. empire building in the Americas and first-world feminisms. The research for Boricua Insurgencies forms the basis of his documentary film, Imperial Science: ‘Testimonios’ from The Puerto Rican Contraceptive Pill Trials.
