Taste for Brown Bodies - Perez Hiram
Winner, LGBT Studies Lammy Award presented by Lambda LiteraryNeither queer theory nor queer activism has fully reckoned with the role of race in the emergence of the modern gay subject. Focusing in particular on three figures with elusive queer histories--the sailor, the soldier, and the cowboy-- Perez unpacks how each has been memorialized and desired for their heroic masculinity while at the same time functioning as agents for the expansion of the US borders and neocolonial zones of influence.Describing an enduring homonationalism dating to the "birth" of the homosexual in the late 19th century, Perez considers not only how US imperialist expansion was realized, but also how it was visualized for and through gay men. In A Taste for Brown Bodies, Hiram Perez traces the development of gay modernity and its continued romanticization of the brown body.
