Guest Editors' Introduction Pete Sigal, Duke University John F. Chuchiak IV, Missouri State University This special issue of Ethnohistory presents new scholarship on colonial Mesoamerican sexualities. The contributions address a variety of common themes related to an “ethnohistory of sexuality” in parts of colonial Mesoamerica (Mexico and Guatemala). The authors address alternative and nonreproductive sexualities using a variety of methodologies and sources. From textual analysis to formal linguistic analysis of semantic categories of translation to traditional philology and the use of methodologies from social history, the contributors focus on the sexual experiences and ideologies of men and women, natives, Africans, mestizos, and Europeans, who came together in licit and illicit sexual encounters throughout the colonial period in Mesoamerica. It is fitting that this special issue be published by Ethnohistory, a journal that has remained at the forefront of the field of colonial Latin American women’s and gender history and that strives to promote the emerging field of studies in indigenous sexuality. In past issues, debates and presentations of similar emergent investigations have led to the creation of new fields of study into the ethnohistory of indigenous peoples.
