About this work
Also known as
Rethinking race, gender, and sexuality in Chicanx/Latinx studies
Description
"Arguing that brown transgender narratives are frequently silenced and erased in US queer, transgender, and Latinx and Chicanx cultural politics, Galarte considers the contexts in which these narratives appear; how they circulate; and how they are reproduced in politics, sexual cultures, and racialized economies. Seeking to restore personhood and agency to these subjects, Francisco J. Galarte advances "brown trans figuration" as a theoretical framework to describe how transness and brownness coexist within the larger queer, trans, and Latinx historical experiences"-- Provided by publisher.
