"Concise, poignant, and sophisticated, Maguire's book will be a valuable contribution to cinema and media studies in general and Latin American queer studies in particular." — H-Net Reviews (H-Environment)"A major contribution, Bodies of Water conjugates Latin American queer cinema studies and the blue humanities in ways that are illuminating and transformational. Lucid and fluid throughout, with nuanced and detailed film analyses, the book enriches our understanding of the queer aquatic poetics of alterity, identity, belonging, and more." — Juli A. Kroll, author of Body, Gender, and Sexuality in Latin American Cinema: Insurgent Skin
