Overview
While Morrison explicitly looks at the process of how othering is inherent in identity formation in American literature, Puar considers how it happens in legislation, policing, and other dominions of the nation-state. Morrison considers how the \"Africanist presence\" embodies the fears and desires of white writers, while Puar considers how ostensibly-liberal movements leverage anti-Muslim rhetoric in order to gain political capital. Puar looks specifically at how the category of \"queer\" shifts in order to uphold certain (white) dominances. Pulling together Morrison's model of analysis of fiction and Puar's model of analysis of queer movements, what's happening in the books written by American white gay woman authors in the 20th and early 21st century?
