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 $aGay people's writings, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism$xMinority authors 606 $aSexual minorities in literature 606 $aHomosexuality in literature 606 $aRace in literature 606 $aLGBTQ+ people of colour$2homoit$3https://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0001101 606 $aLGBTQ+ people in literature$2homoit$3https://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0004018 606 $aQueer people's writings$2homoit$3https://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0003871 615 0$aSexual minorities' writings, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGay people's 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$aRace in literature. 615 7$aLGBTQ+ people of colour. 615 7$aLGBTQ+ people in literature. 615 7$aQueer people's writings. 676 $a810.9/920664 676 $a810.9920664 700 $aMarti?nez$b Ernesto$01844601 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970444603321 996 $aOn Making Sense$94427469 997 $aUNINA
