In a documentarian investigation of the major LGBTQ archives in the
United States, Queer Literacies: Discourses and Discontents
identifies the homophobic discourses that prevailed in the
twentieth-century by those discursive forces that also sponsored
the literacy acquisition of the nation. Mark McBeth tracks down the
evidence of how these sponsors of literacy-families, teachers,
librarians, doctors, scientists, and government agents-instituted
heteronormative platforms upon which public discourses were
constructed. After pinpointing and analyzing how this disparaging
rhetoric emerged, McBeth examines how certain LGBTQ advocates took
counter-literacy measures to upend and replace those discourses
with more Queer-affirming articulations. Having lived
contemporaneously while these events occurred, McBeth incorporate
narratives of his own lived experience of how these discourses
impacted his own reading, writing, and researching capabilities. In
this auto-archival research investigation, McBeth argues that
throughout the twentieth century, Queer literates revised dominant
and oppressive discourses as a means of survival and world-making
in their own words. Scholars of rhetoric, gender studies, LGBTQ
studies, literary studies, and communication studies will find this
book particularly useful.
