Passing is a recurrent theme in Boricua lesbian narratives. This paper explores the different modes of passing and ¿passing through¿ that are evident in a range of Boricua lesbian narratives. Through an analysis of oral histories of Boricua lesbians in the anthology Compañeras: Latina Lesbians, the performance piece Transplantations: Straight and Other Jackets Para Mí, the film Brincando el charco: Portrait of a Puerto Rican, and the silences around the sexuality of Dr. Antonia Pantoja, I discuss intentional and unintentional passing and ¿passing through.¿ I argue that these processes account for complex and wide-ranging anxieties around the performance of multiple and shifting sexual, national, and racial identities. |
