Martin Joseph Ponce theorizes and enacts a queer diasporic reading practice that attends to the complex crossings of race and nation with gender and sexuality. Tracing the conditions of possibility of Anglophone Filipino literature to U.S. colonialism in the Philippines in the early twentieth century, the book examines how a host of writers from across the century both imagine and address the Philippines and the United States, inventing a variety of artistic lineages and social formations in the process. Beyond the Nation considers a broad array of issues, from early Philippine nationalism, queer modernism, and transnational radicalism, to music-influenced and cross-cultural poetics, gay male engagements with martial law and popular culture, second-generational dynamics, and the relation between reading and revolution. Ponce elucidates not only the internal differences that mark this literary tradition but also the wealth of expressive practices that exceed the terms of colonial complicity, defiant nationalism, or conciliatory assimilation. Moving beyond the nation as both the primary analytical framework and locus of belonging, Ponce proposes that diasporic Filipino literature has much to teach us about alternative ways of imagining erotic relationships and political communities. 410 0$aSexual cultures. 606 $aPhilippine literature (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPhilippine literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHomosexuality in literature 615 0$aPhilippine literature (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPhilippine literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHomosexuality in literature. 676 $a810.9/89921073 700 $aPonce$b Martin Joseph$01661856 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996582066903316 996 $aBeyond the nation$94018033 997 $aUNISA
