Abstract

The cultural value of familismo is regarded as one of the main sources of support and reliance among Latina/o families. However, such familial dynamics can be challenged when involving sexual identities that do not align with familial values or traditional cultural expectations in Latina/o families, such as queerness. Thus, the author proposes the concept of precarious familismo to capture adverse, supportive, and disparate familial dynamics that can occur among Latinas/os when queer identities are involved. In doing so, he accounts for the influence of systems of oppression. To illustrate the functioning of precarious familismo, the author developed a two-part model. Data for this qualitative study stems from the Latino Male Leadership Project, a multisite investigation including men from four colleges and universities across the United States. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

摘要

家族主义的文化价值被认为是拉丁裔家庭获得支持和依赖的主要来源之一。但是，当涉及与拉丁裔/ o家庭的家庭价值观或传统文化期望（例如酷儿）不符的性认同时，这种家庭动态可能会受到挑战。因此，作者提出了pre可危的家族主义概念，以捕捉当涉及到酷儿身份时在拉丁裔/ os中可能发生的不利的，支持性的和完全不同的家族动力学。在这样做时，他解释了压迫制度的影响。为了说明不稳定的家族主义的功能，作者开发了一个分为两部分的模型。该定性研究的数据来自拉丁裔男性领导力项目，这是一次多地点调查，其中包括来自美国四所大学的人。讨论了对研究和实践的意义。
