Critical Articulations of Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation
engages scholarly essays, poems, and creative writings that examine
the meanings of race, gender, and sexual orientation as
interlocking systems of oppression. Each chapter in this volume
critically, yet creatively, interrogates the notion of identity as
socially constructed, yet interconnected and shaped by cultural
associations, expanding on the idea that we as individuals live in
an identity matrix-our self-concept, experiences, and
interpretations originate or are developed from the culture in
which we are embedded. The shaping of an individual's identity,
communication, and worldview can be read, shaped, and understood
through life, art, popular culture, mass media, and cross-cultural
interactions, among other things. The aptness of this work lies in
its ability to provide a meaningful and creative space to analyze
identity and identity politics, highlighting the complexities of
identity formation in the twenty-first century.
This volume launches the first sustained discussion of the need for
a queer of color conceptual framework around Black, lesbian female
identity. Specifically, this volume addresses the necessity for a
more integrated framework within queer studies, in which the
variables of race/ethnicity are taken into consideration. This book
is unique in that it highlights a triple-jeopardy minority group
that has been historically marginalized and concludes with the
proposal of a much-needed framework for researchers to begin to
create a baseline of knowledge/research under the umbrella of the
Black Queer Identity Matrix.
