Whiteness and the Literary Construction of Homosexuality<\/h5>\n

CSWS director Michael Hames-Garc\u00eda will talk about a new book project that focuses on whiteness and the literary construction of homosexuality in the period between World War II and the 1969 Stonewall rebellion. This manuscript examines works by authors ranging from Gore Vidal to James Baldwin to explore the conflation of homosexuality with whiteness that developed during this historic period.<\/p>\n

\u201cRather than a collateral effect of latent white supremacy or disregard for the lives of queer people of color, I argue that this conflation\u2014perhaps most surprising in the work of African American author James Baldwin and Chicano writer John Rechy\u2014is the result of a deliberate, if implicit, process of making homosexuality legible, representing it as not pathological, and garnering sympathy for emerging political claims on its behalf,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Dr. Hames-Garc\u00eda is a professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies at University of Oregon. He will talk about his research in the cozy setting of the Jane Grant Conference Room on Wednesday, December 3, at noon.<\/p>\n
