Sulaimon Giwa's aptly named Racism and Gay Men of Color arrives at
a time when many of the sociocultural issues it raises have come to
national attention. Yet gay men of color in Canadian GLBT
communities are still subject to racism and excluded, both online
and offline. If a gay man of color is not the "right" color, he is
often the recipient of stereotypical racial epithets and denied
sexual approbation within an erotic world where sexual desires are
structured along the lines of race, ethnicity, age, disability, and
class. Giwa warns against the denial that underlies much of this
monolithic racism and highlights the strategies used by gay men of
color to counter racism in their communities and to lead strong,
effective lives. This important book will inspire advocates and
activists, students and scholars, and will become indispensable in
university and college courses on sexuality and race studies.
Following the development of anti-retroviral therapies (ARVs), many
people affected by HIV in the 1980s and 1990s have now been living
with the condition for decades. Drawing on perspectives from
leading scholars in Bangladesh, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand,
Switzerland, Ukraine, the UK and the US, as well as research from
India and Kenya, this book explores the experiences of sex and
sexuality in individuals and groups living with HIV in later life.
Contributions consider the impacts of stigma, barriers to intimacy,
physiological sequelae, long-term care, undetectability, pleasure
and biomedical prevention (TasP and PrEP). With the increasing
global availability of ARVs and ageing populations, this book
offers essential future directions, practical applications and
implications for both policy and research.
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.
