"This book is based on a PhD thesis submitted to the Faculty of Language, Literature and Humanities at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in 2018 (title: Good White Queers? Tracing the Limits of (Self-)Critical Engagements with Racism and Whiteness in Queer Comics from the US)"--Title page verso. |
| Contents |
Introduction -- Theoretical and historical founcations -- Alison Bechdel's Dykes to watch out for : a white fantasy of a post-racial lesbian community -- Howard Cruse's Stuck rubbery baby : how "gay is the new Black" discourses shape the white gay imaginary -- Jaime Cortez's Sexile/Sexilio : unlearning homonationalism and developing alternative discourses -- Conclusion : the limits of white LGBTIQ self-representations. |
| Summary |
How do white queer people portray our own whiteness? Can we, in the stories we tell about ourselves, face the uncomfortable fact that, while queer, we might still be racist? If we cannot, what does that say about us as potential allies in intersectional struggles? A careful analysis of Dykes To Watch Out For and Stuck Rubber Baby by queer comic icons Alison Bechdel and Howard Cruse traces the intersections of queerness and racism in the neglected medium of queer comics, while a close reading of Jaime Cortez's striking graphic novel Sexile/Sexilio offers glimpses of the complexities and difficult truths that lie beyond the limits of where white queer self-representations dare to tread. |
