Through a rigorous ethnographic inquiry into the material foundations of sexual identity, \u003ci\u003eThe Struggle to Be Gay\u003c\/i\u003e makes a compelling argument for the centrality of social class in gay life—in Mexico, for example, and by extension in other places as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKnown for his writings on the construction of sexual identities, anthropologist and cultural studies scholar Roger N.
