About this book

How do white queer people portray our own whiteness? 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 where white
queer self-representations dare to tread.
