As individuals who historically have faced multiple forms of oppression, queer people of color often find themselves struggling to "fit in." What impact does this have on their sociopolitical involvement within their communities of color? Within the queer community? And to what effect? Based on one of the largest surveys to date of African American, Latina/o, Asian American, and Pacific Islander American LGB people, this book offers a unique angle through which to examine belonging, and its converse, within marginalized communities.
Angelique Harris is director of faculty development at Boston University's Medical Campus and director of faculty development and diversity in the university’s Department of Medicine. Juan Battle is professor of sociology, public health, and urban education at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY). Antonio (Jay) Pastrana, Jr., is associate professor of sociology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY.
