Scholars of Caribbean studies or queer studies will likewise benefit from Erotic Islands." —Alejandro Stephano Escalante, ASAP/Journal

“This is a brave, important, and engaging work that breaks new ground while beautifully honoring intellectual and aesthetic traditions. Lyndon K. Gill's scholarship pushes well beyond the current boundaries of anthropology—exploring how erotic subjectivity shapes our expanding cartography of the queer Caribbean, at the cutting edge of black studies, queer studies, and diaspora studies.” — Jafari S. Allen, author of, ¡Venceremos? The Erotics of Black Self-Making in Cuba

“Bringing together anthropologically inflected inquiry and insightful engagement with contemporary theoretical debates in queer theory, art history, and in race, diaspora, and gender studies, Lyndon K. Gill makes an extremely important contribution to our understanding of the contemporary Caribbean. Gill's reading of this space is informed by both a knowing intimacy of the region and critical engagement with a wider body of scholarship in ways that move local knowledge and broader theoretical debates in new directions.” — Rinaldo Walcott, author of, Queer Returns: Essays on Multiculturalism, Diaspora, and Black Studies
