Abstract
cultural context and a specific historical-political situation: Mexican migrant communities in the United States.We use the discourses of different social actors to underline the fact that sex among men is socio-culturally specific. The article analyzes these discourses to show how a model for understanding identity-based sexuality used by organizations doing AIDS prevention is built and counterposed to another strategic, non-identity-based model constructed by migrant men. Based on this opposition, the authors develop a critique both of the epistemology of the category ofmen-who-have-sex-with-men and of the logic of the preventive discourses which are read as formulations of the Western deployment of sexuality, which requires subjects to be truthful and coherent about their sexuality.Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:
