Book Description
Yuana and Roald were born to a privileged existence. Destiny gave them everything one could ask for in life. The one thing they want above all else is the only thing destiny denies them both - each other. She is a Viscerebus. He is human. Their love cannot thrive in secrecy, but her truth can kill. To tell him has fatal consequences — from her kind, or from her own hand. To keep the Veil of Secrecy is to disappear from his life forever. Then fate ups the stakes. She finds out she is more Viscerebus than most. He has more reason to hate her kind, and time is running out.

This groundbreaking collection includes thirteen essays from historians, sociologists, and anthropologists who discuss transgendered females and same-sex desire among women in Asia, Latin America, Native North America, and Africa.

Queerly Remembered
Author: Thomas R. Dunn
Publisher: Univ of South Carolina Press
ISBN: 1611176719
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
An interdisciplinary examination of the strategies GLBTQ communities have used to advocate for political, social, and cultural change Queerly Remembered investigates the ways in which gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (GLBTQ) individuals and communities have increasingly turned to public tellings of their ostensibly shared pasts in order to advocate for political, social, and cultural change in the present. Much like nations, institutions, and other minority groups before them, GLBTQ people have found communicating their past(s)—particularly as expressed through the concept of memory—a rich resource for leveraging historical and contemporary opinions toward their cause. Drawing from the interdisciplinary fields of rhetorical studies, memory studies, gay and lesbian studies, and queer theory, Thomas R. Dunn considers both the ephemeral tactics and monumental strategies that GLBTQ communities have used to effect their queer persuasion. More broadly this volume addresses the challenges and opportunities posed by embracing historical representations of GLBTQ individuals and communities as a political strategy. Particularly for a diverse community whose past is marked by the traumas of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the forgetting and destruction of GLBTQ history, and the sometimes-divisive representational politics of fluid, intersectional identities, portraying a shared past is an exercise fraught with conflict despite its potential rewards. Nonetheless, by investigating rich rhetorical case studies through time and across diverse artifacts—including monuments, memorials, statues, media publications, gravestones, and textbooks—Queerly Remembered reveals that our current queer "turn toward memory" is a complex, enduring, and avowedly rich rhetorical undertaking.
