Abstract

The loss of our beloved colleague, David William Foster, leaves us with the enduring contribution of his mentoring legacy and an almost incredible amount of groundbreaking publications. The staggering quantity and quality of books, articles, translations, and reviews that Professor Foster wrote over some fifty years helps us to think about LGBTQ and Jewish themes in a sweeping range of Latin American texts, from print literature to film to photographs, and shows especially profound expertise in cultural production issuing from Brazil and Argentina.
