Queer returns : essays on multiculturalism, diaspora, and Black studies / Rinaldo Walcott.

• Dramatic instabilities: diasporic aesthetics as a question for and about nation -- Multicultural and creole contemporaries: post-colonial artists and post-colonial cities -- Into the ranks of man: vicious modernism and the politics of reconciliation -- Disgraceful: intellectual dishonesty, white anxieties, and multicultural critique thirty years later -- Spoken word and Afrodiasporic performances of race memory -- Queer returns: human rights, the Anglo-Caribbean, and diasporic politics -- Against the rules of Blackness: Hilton Als' The women and Jamaica Kincaid's My brother (or how to raise Black queer kids) -- Black queer studies, freedom, and other human possibilities -- Blackness, masculinity, and the work of queer.

• "Queer Returns returns us to the scene of multiculturalism, diaspora and queer through the lens of black expression, identity and the political. The essays question what it means to live in a multicultural society, how diaspora impacts identity and culture and how the categories of queer and black and black queer complicate the political claims of multiculturalism, diaspora and queer politics. These essays return us to foundational assumptions, claims and positions that require new questions without dogmatic answers."--
