Abstract Using narratives from oral histories of LGBTQ migrant Latinas in Los Angeles, California, and Mexico City, Mexico, this article argues that, despite experiences of oppression, the narrators practice resistance in their daily lives. The article first addresses how the narrators confront conditions of detainability and deportability, making survival a constant struggle. It then presents different ways in which the narrators engage in resistance, from survival to community building and activism. Finally, it argues that healing is a key factor in the narrators’ resistance—healing functions as both a tool for and outcome of resistance.

“我们必须做很多医治”：LGBTQ移民拉丁裔抵制和医治系统性暴力

摘要本文使用来自加利福尼亚州洛杉矶和墨西哥墨西哥城的LGBTQ移民拉丁裔的口述历史叙述，认为，尽管经历了压迫，但叙述者在日常生活中仍会进行抵抗。本文首先论述了叙述者如何面对可拘留性和可驱逐性的条件，使生存成为不断的斗争。然后，它提出了叙述者参与抵抗的不同方式，从生存到社区建设和行动主义。最后，它认为康复是叙述者抵抗的关键因素，而治愈既是抵抗的工具，也是抵抗的结果。
