This book examines the queer implications of memory and nationhood
in transcultural U.S. literature and culture. Through an analysis
of art and photography responding to the U.S. domestic response to
9/11, Iraq war fiction, representations of Abu Ghraib and
Guantanamo Bay, and migrant fiction in the twenty-first century,
Christopher W. Clark creates a queer archive of transcultural U.S.
texts as a way of destabilizing heteronormativity and thinking
about productive spaces of queer world-building. Drawing on the
fields of transcultural memory, queer studies, and
transculturalism, this book raises important questions of queer
bodies and subjecthood. Clark traces their legacies through texts
by Sinan Antoon, Mohamedou Ould Slahi among others, alongside film
and photography that includes artists such as Nina Berman and Hasan
Elahi. In all, the book queers forms of cultural memory and
national identity to uncover the traces of injury but also spaces
of regeneration.
