From James Baldwin's 1960's novel Another Country to Margaret Cho's turn-of-the-century stand-up comedy, these works all exhibit a preoccupation with intelligibility, or the labor of making sense of oneself and of making sense to others. In their efforts to "make sense," these writers and artists argue against merely being accepted by society on society's terms, but articulate a desire to confront epistemic injustice--an injustice that affects people in their capacity as knowers and as communities worthy of being known. The book speaks directly to critical developments in feminist and queer studies, including the growing ambivalence to antirealist theories of identity and knowledge. In so doing, it draws on decolonial and realist theory to offer a new framework to understand queer writers and artists of color as dynamic social theorists. 410 0$aStanford studies in comparative race and ethnicity 606 $aSexual minorities' writings, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGays' writings, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism$xMinority authors 606 $aSexual minorities in literature 606 $aHomosexuality in literature 606 $aRace in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSexual minorities' writings, American$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aGays' writings, American$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism$xMinority authors 615 0$aSexual minorities in literature 615 0$aHomosexuality in literature 615 0$aRace in literature 676 $a810.9/920664 676 $a810.9920664 700 $aMarti?nez$b Ernesto$01045346 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462370703321 996 $aOn Making Sense$92471563 997 $aUNINA
