In Queer Tidalectics, Emilio Amideo investigates how Anglophone
writers James Baldwin, Jackie Kay, Thomas Glave, and Shani Mootoo
employ the trope of fluidity to articulate a Black queer diasporic
aesthetics. Water recurs as a figurative and material site to
express the Black queer experience within the diaspora, a means to
explore malleability and overflowing sexual, gender, and racial
boundaries. Amideo triangulates language, the aquatic, and affect
to delineate a Black queer aesthetics, one that uses an idiom of
fluidity, slipperiness, and opacity to undermine and circumvent
gender normativity and the racialized heteropatriarchy embedded in
English. The result is an outline of an ever-expanding affective
archive of experiential knowledge. Amideo engages and extends the
work of Black queer studies, Oceanic studies, ecocriticism,
phenomenology, and new materialism through the theorizations of
Sara Ahmed, Omise'eke Natasha Tinsley, M. Jacqui Alexander, Edouard
Glissant, JosE Esteban MuNoz, and Edward Kamau Brathwaite, among
others. Ambitious in scope and captivating to read, Queer
Tidalectics brings Caribbean writers like Glissant and Brathwaite
into queer literary analysis-a major scholarly contribution.
