Can we, in the stories we tell about ourselves, face the uncomfortable fact that, while queer, we might still be racist? If we cannot, what does that say about us as potential allies in intersectional struggles? A careful analysis of Dykes To Watch Out For and Stuck Rubber Baby by queer comic icons Alison Bechdel and Howard Cruse traces the intersections of queerness and racism in the neglected medium of queer comics, while a close reading of Jaime Cortez's striking graphic novel Sexile/Sexilio offers glimpses of the complexities and difficult truths that lie beyond the limits of the white queer imaginary. 410 0$aQueer Studies 606 $aQueer comic books, strips, etc 606 $aQueer theory 606 $aRacism 606 $aWhite people$xRace identity 615 0$aQueer comic books, strips, etc. 615 0$aQueer theory. 615 0$aRacism. 615 0$aWhite people$xRace identity. 676 $a741.535266 700 $aLinke$b Kai$0978186 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 801 2$bACMR 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476909203321 996 $aGood White Queers$92229156 997 $aUNINA
