"""Beyond the provocation of the book’s title and theoretical framework lies, in moments, a charming memoir chronicling Decena’s auto-ethnographic experience of growing up in a Black Dominican migrant family. . . . Decena’s generational musings on queer life will be of particular interest to readers who value sex-positive ethics regarding HIV awareness and prevention."" -- James Padilioni * American Religion * ""More than memoir, more than monograph, Carlos Ulises Decena’s Circuits of the Sacred boldly undresses dominant preconceptions surrounding queer spiritual and sexual identity. . . . Decena’s unapologetic command of space and attention makes this book a valuable contribution to queer scholarship. The text’s emotional complexity constructs kinetic reckoning and revolution, calling us to (re)shape livable futures."" -- Marion Eames White * Reading Religion *"
