"A queer way to be in the world and with others"--

Explores how the institutional management of children¿s sexualities in boarding schools affected children¿s future social, political, and economic opportunities Tracing the US¿s investment in disciplining minoritarian sexualities since the late nineteenth century, Mary Zaborskis focuses on a ubiquitous but understudied figure: the queer child. Queer Childhoods examines the lived and literary experiences of children who attended reform schools, schools for the blind, African American industrial schools, and Native American boarding schools. In mapping the institutional terrain of queer childhoods in educational settings of the late nineteenth- and twentieth-century, the book offers an original archive of children¿s sexual and embodied experiences. Zaborskis argues that these boarding schools¿designed to segregate racialized, criminalized, and disabled children from mainstream culture¿produced new forms of childhood. These childhoods have secured American futures in which institutionalized children (and the adults they become) have not been considered full-fledged citizens or participants. By locating this queerness in state archives and institutions, Queer Childhoods exposes a queer social history entangled with genocide, eugenics, and racialized violence.

""Becoming Human" explores matter and meaning in an antiblack world"--

Putting premodern theology and poetry in dialogue with contemporary theory and politics, this work reassesses the commonplace view that a modern veneration of sexual monogamy and fidelity finds its roots in Protestant thought.

"Keeling's "Queer Times, Black Futures" explores the issues of gender and race"--

Addresses this central question: if race has been settled as a legal or social construction and not as biological fact, why do Asian American artists, authors, and performers continue to scrutinize their body parts?

Tells the story of the United States Latino body politic and its relation to the state: how the state configures Latino subjects and how Latino subjects have in turn altered the state. This work also charts the interrelated groups that define themselves as Latinos and examines how these groups have responded to calls for unity.

Advances a rethinking of law as capacious rhetorics of citizenship, justice, equality, and freedom.

Addresses the critical paradox of this entrenched relationship that resides even within queer theory itself by formulating critical interventions around "Asian performance."

In everyday language, masochism is usually understood as the desire to abdicate control in exchange for sensation - pleasure, pain, or a combination thereof. This book uses masochism as a lens to examine how power structures race, gender, and embodiment in different contexts.

Takes the enslaved person's claims of human consumption seriously, focusing on both the literal starvation of the slave and the tropes of cannibalism on the part of the slaveholder, and further draws attention to the ways in which Blacks experienced their consumption as a fundamentally homoerotic occurrence.
