The Psychic Life of Racism in Gay Men's Communities engages in the
necessarily complex task of mapping out the operations of
racialized desire as it circulates among gay men. In exploring such
desire, the contributors to this collection consider the
intersections of privilege and marginalization in the context of
gay men's lives, and in so doing, argue that as much as experiences
of discrimination on the basis of sexuality are shared among many
gay men, experiences of discrimination within gay communities are
equally as common. Focusing specifically on racialization, the
contributors offer insight as to how hierarchies, inequalities, and
practices of exclusion serve to bolster the central position
accorded to certain groups of gay men at the expense of other
groups. Considering how racial desire operates within gay
communities allows the contributors to connect contemporary
struggles for inclusion and recognition with ongoing histories of
marginalization and exclusion. The Psychic Life of Racism in Gay
Men's Communities is an important intervention that disputes the
claim that gay communities are primarily organized around
acceptance and homogeneity and instead demonstrates the
considerable diversity and ongoing tensions that mark gay men's
relationships with one another.
