Can reading make us better citizens? In Crossing borders and
queering citizenship, Feghali crafts a sophisticated theoretical
framework to theorise how the act of reading can contribute to the
queering of contemporary citizenship in North America. Providing
sensitive and convincing readings of work by both popular and niche
authors, including Gloria Anzaldua, Dorothy Allison, Gregory
Scofield, Guillermo Gomez-Pena, Erin Moure, Junot Diaz, and Yann
Martel, this book is the first to not only read these authors
together, but also to discuss how each powerfully resists the
exclusionary work of state-sanctioned citizenship in the U.S. and
Canada. This book convincingly draws connections between queer
theory, citizenship studies, and border studies and sheds light on
how these connections can reframe our understanding of American
Studies. -- .
