Home and Community for Queer Men of Color

This truly interdisciplinary and groundbreaking collection of essays contributes to queer theory and race studies by elaborating on the complexities present in the everyday experiences of queer people of color. Home and Community for Queer Men of Color: The Intersection of Race and Sexuality is a real stunner—rich, illuminating, often highly-personal, and a must-have addition to any serious intersectionality scholar’s library. Editors Jesús Gregorio Smith and C. Winter Han have put together a collection that will be cited and discussed for years to come! -- Jimmie Manning, University of Nevada, Reno
Home and Community for Queer Men of Color examines the intersections of race and sexuality, and other related social locations, as they inform and are informed by contemporary problems germane to cultural and intercultural lived experience. The authors engage with an impressive range of shared and unique issues to show how home and community for queer men of color matter in today’s increasingly turbulent and uncertain times. The book’s chapters are accessible, interesting, challenging, and promising—key qualities that make the book appealing for use in the undergraduate and graduate courses taught in a diverse number of academic fields. Ultimately, Home and Community places stories and experiences commonly relegated to the margins (of society and the academy) front and center and compels us to think and feel in novel ways. -- Keith Berry, University of South Florida
