This significant text employs an intersectional analysis and considers
the role of queer frameworks to understand the experiences of Queer
People of Color at historically white institutions of higher education
in the U.S. By presenting data from student interviews and reflection
journals, the book explores what it means to hold multiple minoritized
identities, and asks how such intersections are navigated, contested,
and experienced on college campuses. Exploring both micro- and
macro-level mappings of marginalization and power, the text reveals
issues including institutional erasure, pervasive whiteness in college
and LGBTQ+ communities, and institutionalized racism and heterosexism,
and offers in-depth insights into the material, psychological,
emotional, and social impacts on queer students of color. Ultimately,
the analysis highlights the necessity of employing intersectional
frameworks for addressing interlocking systems of oppression and
offers recommendations for the integration and support of queer
students of color at historically white institutions (HWIs). This
monograph will offer invaluable insights for scholars, researchers,
and graduate students working in the fields of gender and sexuality,
higher education, and issues of educational equity, who wish to
realize the potential of intersectionality as an analytic framework
for the study of identity and development of affirming educational
environments.
