In The Queer Art of History Jennifer V. Evans examines postwar and
contemporary German history to broadly argue for a practice of
queer history that moves beyond bounded concepts and narratives of
identity. Drawing on Black feminism, queer of color critique, and
trans studies, Evans points out that although many rights for
LGBTQI people have been gained in Germany, those rights have not
been enjoyed equally. There remain fundamental struggles around
whose bodies, behaviors, and communities belong. Evans uses kinship
as an analytic category to identify the fraught and productive ways
that Germans have confronted race, gender nonconformity, and
sexuality in social movements, art, and everyday life. Evans shows
how kinship illuminates the work of solidarity and intersectional
organizing across difference and offers an openness to forms of
contemporary and historical queerness that may escape the
archive’s confines. Through forms of kinship, queer and trans
people test out new possibilities for citizenship, love, and public
and family life in postwar Germany in ways that question claims
about liberal democracy, the social contract, and the place of
identity in rights-based discourses.
