Theoretically, a critique of essentialism has led toa suspicion against essence and origins regardless of their politicalimplications. The central argument of Queer Roots for the Diaspora is that, in spiteof these debates around the concept of roots, ultimately the desire forroots contains the "roots" of its own deconstruction. The book considersalternative root narratives that acknowledge the impossibility of returningto origins with any certainty; welcome sexual diversity; acknowledge theirown fictionality; reveal that even a single collective identity can be rootedin multiple ways; and create family trees haunted by the queer otherspatrilineal genealogy seems to marginalize. The roots narratives simultaneously assert and question rooted identitieswithin a number of diasporas-African, Jewish, and Armenian. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $z Africa. 650 0 $a African American sexual minorities. 650 0 $a African diaspora. 650 0 $a Family secrets $z Africa. 650 0 $a Family secrets $z United States. 650 0 $a Gender identity $z Africa. 650 0 $a Gender identity $z United States. 650 7 $a African American sexual minorities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01938544 650 7 $a African diaspora. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799755 650 7 $a Family secrets. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737651 650 7 $a Gender identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939593 650 7 $a Sexual minorities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01202158 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214011949.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161202013636.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=74C4DFA2B85D11E6BDBAC4DDDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
